Yeah I've played in limit tourneys where guys would raise with anything just to end their tourney quickly.. cause they intended to sign up for a NL tourney but got the wrong one.

Ah yes, The Hammer.

It is kind of a running joke among poker bloggers. Statistically proven to be the worst Hold 'em starting hand, 2,7off has taken on a life of its own.

Inspired by the Poker Grub's Hammer challenge:



winning with the hand has become an event to blog about.

I've even hit quads with it once. So beware the 2,2,7 flop, it's not junk anymore

Last trip to Atlantic City EVERY time there was a 2 and a 7 on the flop the kid in the 5 seat would say "huh and they say it's the worst hand in poker". After hearing it like a dozen time I wanted to punch him in the face between 2 and 7 times.
