10/5 sooted....

#1 11th November 2011, 7:30 AM

Before any shoots me down in flames, Im not advocating playing 10/5 suited, just interested in whether the fact that all straights contain either a 5 or a 10 makes this hand a statistical anomaly?

I would be interested in finding out how this hand compares to J/6 or 9/4 for a given number of hands???

I dont believe there is a hand I hate to see more then 10-5 soots or not. J 6 and 9 4 are not much better, but there are very few situations where I will consider doing anything but tossing these. Only when ATC is enough for what I want. And that is not all that often.

hitting 4 to make my straight is always nice, but also quite dangerous.

Yah.. ok. I get where you're goin' with all that stuff.. 'but'.. aren't ya just like kinda curious about how the ol' T5s (anomally hand) does vs. stuff like J6 & 94? I'm anxiously waiting in suspense to see if we can get some 'decent' answers on here about it (unlike what you've written here :P )

Late position and first to act I like to raise with T5soooted either at a ring table or late stage mtt/sng. Its a cleverly disguised hand.

this ^ x a gazillion

'but'... even better, I really like 3betting with it (esp. while out of position.. or even better, vs shorter re-steal stacks (14-20bb) who I think are opening light & might even be able to fold to a 3bet.. just because when i do it.. it looks sooooo strong. They're real surprised when they look me up & I crush them with a straight (at least they seem like it from some of the stuff I see in the chatbox... frigg'n idiots though.. pff.. they obviously don't get the level 5 thinking it takes to crush/rule/own/epicly pwn, etc.)

glad Im not the only one doing this. I like doing it with 84soooted as well, I 3bet with that, flopped 448 once against KK, he was so pissed!

Not sure how this fish calls my river shove here? I mean I was repping the 7 all the way but with the greatly disguised gutterball with the ol' T5s.

pff.. he calls. What a fish! (obviously only work when you move up to where they respect your raises)

T5s vs J6o, 40.5% vs 59.5% respectively., much worse if J6 is sooted. T5s 2/1 fave over 94o
but I know you already looked these up anyway...

all in all any one is good if you need an ATC hand. Other than that.......... meh

see bolded above. That and the flush make it a snap call from him. How many fish you know gonna throw a flush away, even with 2p showing???

I thought that exactly. he didnt see a double paired board, he saw his third card for the flush and went yippee, I hit.

If you play 10/5 suited, the chances are you're gonna lose money. Especially in cash games. If you're in a tournament and you want to play a bigger variety of hands, or if you want to bluff with this hand, its cool. Just know when to fold.
