89offsuit 0 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 What is the worst hand you would play in a tournament? Had a different opinion than someone I know. He said he would call 2 7 os in a tournament if he was heads up at the fnal table and if he was the small blind. (Assume both players have the same amount of chips)I said no just throw it away, wait for the next hand it can't be any worse. He says it might match the flop heads up and if you throw it away you are just giving your opponent the small blind. He said he would at worst call just about 100% of the hands in the small blind no matter what the cards.Just wondering if anyone agrees or think you should play it. Link to post Share on other sites

Kei 0 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Completeing the small blind gives you 3-1 pot odds, you're almost hardly ever worse than 3-1 heads up. Go ahead, play it. Link to post Share on other sites

stevielarson 0 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Just as I was reading this sucker in 30+3, 50 000 garenteed on FCP just limped from the Button with about 10 BBs, called by the SB, I checked in the BB with 10 3. Flop comes 2 4 7 rainbow, checks around. Turn K, checked to me, I check, Button goes all in for 3X pot, SB calls and shows 44 for a set. Well played Button. Link to post Share on other sites

Nysze 0 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Like most things in poker it all depends on the situation, but if your just going to call, hoping to hit something on the flop, and then play weak after the flop your going to lose money alot more than half the time. Also if you just call then your going to hit a raise 50% of the time, especialy if you've been playing every two cards your dealt. Link to post Share on other sites
fatman 1 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I play any cards in any position....which is why I usually lose a lot of money each time I play. Link to post Share on other sites
loogie 115 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 heads up at the fnal table...I said no just throw it away, wait for the next hand it can't be any worse.Wrong.32o is the worst possible hand heads up. But I'll play any hand heads up unless my opponent is raising my limps a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
NatureSon 0 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 If I were heads up...I would still fold unless I was the bb and the opposition checked it to me. In that case I would check, or probably bet from position. Link to post Share on other sites
