Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 5364395, member: 407846"] Stats underline the strength of AAKK and all variants descending thereof...but its interesting you compare AKQJ to JT98. All I can say is I am happier to be dealt a straight (with possible flush) than I am to see two strong pairs- and for me the higher the starting hand the higher the potential, so I would opt for AKQJ. Its odd (just anecdotal) but I usually play one PLO tourney a day and I am presently on quite an extended run of big pairs (AA, KK) failing to strengthen as the hand plays out. I find myself making FHs with smaller pairs more often than higher pairs and, as noted, am happier to see a potential straight when dealt cards. [/QUOTE]
