anyone out there like me still anxiously awaiting the release of the degreedeodorant.com online sweepstakes results? they said the drawing was supposed to be, in their words, on 10/07 or 10/08... still waiting...

did you notice the add on the side of the page that says "Sometimes the cards stink..." and shows a 2c 3d. I bet they figure those are the worst pocket cards. I mean sure, 2-3 isn't a good hand, but if you are really trying to make a point wouldn't you use the worse possible hand?

heads up vs a random hand, 27 is stronger, by a smidge.
23o v random hand 32%
27o v random hand 35%

vs 4 opponents:
23o --> 10.7%
27o --> 10.7%

i can't run poker stove at work, so this is a monte carlo of about 30k hands.

Fascinating.

Heads-up, 72o crushes 32o:
equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 34.8077 % 25.61% 09.20% { 32o }
Hand 2: 65.1923 % 55.99% 09.20% { 72o }

From pokerstove, at a full (10 person) table, against 9 random hands, 23o is better:
equity (%) win (%) tie (%)

Hand 1: 05.5364 % 04.92% 00.62% { 32o }

Hand 1: 04.8248 % 04.02% 00.80% { 72o }

I'd guess this is because 23o has a better chance of making a nut straight.

I suggest not wearing any deodorant till they do. Smell you later.
