You say stacks are deep & you are in position vs a 3b w/ 3355r, but isn't there a big problem w/ reverse implied odds w/ your hand when you hit a set that make this a less profitable play than if you had a 100bb stack?

The preflop action is shove, shove on a 752r flop. This is just about the best flop you can expect with your hand, but is this a tough laydown or a marginal call if the board is:

1. 752 w/ a flush draw

2. 2 broadway rainbow

3. 2 broadway w/ a flush draw.

@ the table (in real time) how do you estimate your equity vs each one of these boards w/ your hand (where you flop a set)?

There definitely is a problem with reverse implied odds, but the premium double paired hands still have value to play in many situations. There will be many spots that will occur when they have a dry flush draw, dry opened ended with pair, top 2, or even top pair with gutter or redraw. All those scenarios have tons of equity for your hand for plo.

keep up the good work!!!!!

I used to love hands like 3345 and considered them 'premium'. But a look on propokertools shows that 3345 double suited has only 42.63% equity...against a random hand! Hard to imagine that a hand that looks so pretty is a dog to 4 random cards! But then again, it's only a little worse than a 2:1 underdog against AAKK preflop...hit the flop hard and stack your opponent...
