7 2 is NOT THE WORST HAND IN POKER (kind of)

[uberyank]

hey guys

the statistical odds of winning with an offsuit 2 3 (pre-flop) are

number of opponents chance %
1 29.24
2 21.61
3 15.39
4 12.73
5 10.07
6 8.87
7 7.67
8 7.01
9 6.35

the stats for a off suit 7 2 winning pre flop are

number of opponents chance %
1 32.71
2 22.44
3 15.83
4 12.98
5 10.12
6 8.70
7 7.28
8 6.57
9 5.86

With bold being the better chance out of the 2 hands.

So the number of opponents directly affects which poker hand has the better odds of winning.

Problem solved. What you guys think?

Well, you see, 7-2 has the nicknames "WORST HAND IN POKER" and "BEER HAND".

Meanwhile, 2-3 is "AIR JORDAN". Meaning Micheal Jordan. Who rocks beyond comprehension.

Therefore, in my infallible logic, I conclude that 7-2 is indeed, the worst of the two.

Please guys i'm urging you to stop this petty bickering. This started off as an intelligent post however it then turned into a forum playground where insults start.

This is supposed to be a fun site so please keep it that way (including the forums)

Lighten up and have fun.

It's true, though. When people say that 7/2 is the worst hand, it's assuming the table is full. Heads-up, or short-handed, 3/2 is actually a worse hand.

And yes, thanks for the education on the subject yank, but your name calling wasn't, ahem, called for.

that nickname of worst hand in poker was made by people who analyzed the potential of cards not the actual stats hence why 7 2 is the "worst hand in poker"

23 has the potential of a straight therefore it has some form of value. 72 can only hit other 7's or 2's

suffice to say i wouldnt want either hand ;)

i think it should be 9 2 that is the worst hand in poker you can't really get anything with that hand

[pimpyalex1]

???

The votes seem to be 50/50...

how can you agree with most?

[1YRTJPOKER5495]

If somebody says 5 its cannot be50%. Meaning only 60% I can agree on. So it's not 50%.
