    Default Quiz: Furthest and Closest hands pre-flop

    A quick Friday afternoon quiz, which pairs of hands are:

    1) furthest apart pre-flop (one is the biggest favourite over the other)
    2) closest together pre-flop (closest to 50/50)

    Please don't use any odds calculators, just give an instinctive answer. 2) is a lot harder than 1).

    You beat me to it Woody thought number 2. was pretty obvious.... Obviously 22 vs 22, 33 vs 33 and so on are also true........

    Sorry, forgot to state for 2) the hands must be different.

    Well Woody got the first one (not really surprising, he told me it in the first place ). Matt was closest in the second one, it's 55 vs 9To where one of the suits match, 9To is a 50.0077% favourite.
