Good analogy 
Not in cash Holdem. This movie script stuff, lol.
True. Question do you know what the Hole card rankings are? Cash, tournament, wantabee Holdem, whatever, there is a âKnown **hierarchyâ of winning hands over time. 23 ainât one of themâŠ
Irrelevant. Opening hands are established in Holdem and suggested learning prior to playing. This 23 is nowhere close to playable. Iâll AA, KK QQ, AK, etc any day and percentage wise crush 23âŠ
to what exacly? See comment to taco man/girl/insert pronounâŠ
Cute. Let me know how that works out for you.
Thatâs the post Iâm talking about. You lost, move onâŠ

I have. I still get goofs that respond.
They folded to me every single time until the away guy chipped out. They also folded when the away guy was the SB, and when I opened from the button or SB. By the time he did chip out, I had almost 80% of the chips in play.
This let me go on to a very easy victory, so I would say it worked out rather well. The point is that there are times that any hand is worth playing. To be good at pokering, one must understand the game well enough to identify these situations, and be flexible enough to be able to adapt to, and adjust for, these opportunities.
Thanks for asking, but since I am still not talking to you, please donât speak to me directly again.

Hole cards have rankings?? Whoa. My whole poker philosophy is crumbling.
Tell me more about these ârankingsâ of which you speak.

SunPowerGuru, So you gonna play your 23s hand here Pal? Chris Moneymaker INSANE Roller Coaster WSOP Main Event Day! - YouTube ⊠show me a 23s in this competitive environment? YGTBFKM
Please donât speak directly to me, thanks!
Well no, I donât think I, or anyone, said or implied that 23s should always be played.
But if youâre getting 5-1 and closing the action, you can certainly see a flop with this hand.
It comes down to risk/reward. If you donât smash the flop, you probably wonât be seeing a turn or river unless you flop something like an open-ender and your opponent doesnât understand how bet sizing affects play.
The general idea, as in many things poker, is to lose small pots while giving yourself a chance to win big ones. This is a pretty basic concept.
Iâm sure I could find you several examples of this if I combed through enough episodes of High Stakes Poker, or whatever. Durr, Dnegs, Sammy Farha, Gus Hanson, and Phil Ivey all come to mind, but finding specific hands to show is way more work than I am willing to put into this, especially when you wouldnât accept them even if I did.
Since I am a man who can summon fire without flint or tinder, you may address me as âTim.â Thatâs not my name, but I will know you are talking to me, thanks!

Here you go. Better still itâs a 32 offsuit in the same environment of the WSOP main event. Itâs even from the same YouTube channel that you posted.
Fixed hand rankings and opening charts are great for beginners. If you want to move beyond beginner skills you need to open your mind and understand the WHY behind the charts. Think for yourself.

Avatar boy, the hand in question is for special occasions with a given narrative that makes sense. Not an everyday play. Sammy Farha was known for some odd ball plays. In the hopes of catching a falling star that usually fell â on him and fried his ass.
he caught a 2. Ever heard of a Doyle? lol
she caught a straight on the turn. A fluke hand, like I said. in the case I reference it was a QUAD, complete BS
but your whole argument has been that 2,3 should never be played. you even challenged us to find a real game that someone played 2,3. weâve found 2 videos and now you are changing your tune?
by the way she caught a STRAIGHT FLUSH! which is better than catching QUADS!

Avatar boy? LOL! Was that supposed to insult me? Good thing that the empty swager and bluster of the hollow fluff of the wannabe tuff means less to me than a snot bubble from the nose of a newborn yak. Nice try though.
I think itâs a little sad that someone says they replay hands to learn, then only see âeveryone is an idiotâ when kind hearted folks try to explain it to them. In a world filled with sadness, itâs not so high on the list, probably somewhere between losing a sock and your cat having bad breath, but itâs a little sad all the same. Love2EatTacos is one of the best players on the site, perhaps you should try to understand what heâs telling you.
To me, it seems pretty simple. The buttonâs min raise preflop, combined with the call from the SB, gave the 23s a good price to see the flop, which he smashed. It doesnât require charts and insults and detailed analysis. If you are looking for a mistake, look there.

Please do call Doyle and let him know that he shouldnât play T2 because itâs not in your fixed, established opening charts. Make sure to let us know how it goes.
