Computer hand (Q 7)

[Arbakov]

Anybody know whether the 'computer hand' of Q 7 was determined to be the winner 50% of the time heads-up/against 3 players/against 10 players, etc? Or does it matter how many other hands are against it (having taken statistics, I would think the number of hands against it would be a definite factor).

Q7 is called the computer hand because it is the average winning hand in poker.

Essentially to answer the question, it is the average hand in a study of HEADS-UP hands

ie 84 hands are worse when heads up against Q7o
and 84 hands are better when heads up against Q7o

Hope that helps,
