Redraws redux
For no particular reason, I've been thinking about redraws in hold'em a bit lately. Here's another illustrative example:
Consider two holdings:
The set, with its redraws to a boat, has a 75/25 edge, whereas the flopped straight, which is dead if the diamond flush hits, has only a 63/37 edge.
In practical terms, the A♦K♦ hand would be correct to call a pot sized all in bet if he felt that he was up against the flopped straight, but not against the set.
Consider two holdings:
- 5♣5♥ (chosen in honour of guess who)
- 6♣7♣
The set, with its redraws to a boat, has a 75/25 edge, whereas the flopped straight, which is dead if the diamond flush hits, has only a 63/37 edge.
In practical terms, the A♦K♦ hand would be correct to call a pot sized all in bet if he felt that he was up against the flopped straight, but not against the set.

Further evidence that Presto is gold and flopped straights blow. But hey, we already knew that ...
