.....the Childish Fascination With Trying To Fuck Someone Over Whilst Holding 72os???

[Raiser]

I love the way you words things - makes me chukkle.

Em, i dont mean to sound patronising or give you a lesson in poker.... but 72o is the nuts and should be played and raised at every opportunity :P When holding 72o position, reads, stack sizes & amounts to bet all go out of the window - Raise it and riase it hard!

And remember,

Any time you aggressively play seven deuce off suit, the universe will bend the laws of short term probability in order to re-balance the long term probability abuses by those trashy players who only play premium hands

[holbrook99]

72 o/s has also been referred to as the bloggers hand (bloggers love busting people with 72os and posting it, just like everyone else), and also know as 'the hammer'
