What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: What is the Better Poker Hand in an All In, Heads Up Situation? 7-2 Offsuit or 6-2 Suited?
Answer: Actually the 7-2 offsuit is the favorite, pre-flop.
It is in the lead pre-flop with a 7-high versus 6-high.
Also if the 2 does flop the 7-2 has the 6-2 outkicked.
This is what we call one hand dominating another, anytime your opponent has one of the same cards as you but a bigger kicker or has a pair of one of your cards, or has a bigger pair. IE, AJ vs AK, K7 vs 77, JJ vs QQ.
The 6-2 being suited makes very little difference in its odds, as the chances of that particular suit coming out are not very good.

6-2 suited is better in that situation

I would go with the suited, more outs.

I would say 6-2 suited would be better. 7-2 off suit is the worst hand in poker.

Definetly 6-2 suited. There are more outs for a straight and flush. Grant you there is one over card but the likelyhood that that 7 is going to be the high card is slim to none.

With the 6-2 you do have more outs but it's still about 60-40 for the 7-2. But if someone's going all in with one of these hands and the other is calling, something's very wrong.

I think heads up, the 7 - 2 off suit is a better hand then the 6 - 2 suited. There's a good chance that the 7 will play in your five best cards. The chances of a stright or flush is slim.
