Just to clarify, J432A is called a jack-perfect, and any J6 or better would probably be called smooth. 5-6 is basically the breaking point for smoothness, and arguing about the smoothness of any hand 9 or worse is pretty pointless. It also compounds the lower you get, i.e. a 76 is certainly not very smooth, etc. Another term used less commonly is straight, which is the worst hand possible, like a straight-8 is an 87654. Hope I could help a little.

It was recently brought up to me by DC-coach, Parlay Slow that the hand at 18m our hero has:

(48) AJQ

and villain has (xx) 8JK

Now, Parlay Slow has brought up that if our opponent has 32 in the hole he is a slight favorite:

Giving our hero an optimal range how the hand has played out:

dead cards: 79TJ
Hand Pot equity
(8-7-)AJQ 49.87%
328JK 50.13%


Here is the actual hand of the hero vs our opponents 32
dead cards: 79TJ
Hand Pot equity
84AJQ 49.10%
328JK 50.90%

Now here is a ranged-hand for hero and opponent:
dead cards: 79TJ
Hand Pot equity
(6-7-)AJQ 51.20%
(7-6-)8JK 48.80%


So, indeed our opponent can be coin flipping in this situation and this is closer than I assumed in the video. But the problem is that our opponent has a 'pinned' range due to having an 8 as a door card. This allows us to play against him well and he has 3-BB streets to get to show down vs a 3rd street raiser w/an Ace door, compounding his reverse implied odd situation. This pot was HU on 3rd, so it is not that big. Granted it is closer than I alluded to in the video, but certainly the point of having an 8-door card was empathized.
