As for the 77 hand in question that is for another reply. I dont think its as quite clear cut as is made out by either side and I would have had a real think about it at the time...however I would imagine A-rag makes up a lot bigger % of his range than is being given credit for at the minute.
I'd certainly agree that A-rag is one of his more likely hands. I guess in many ways this boils down to the fact that 77 is never a big favourite against anything but a lower pair or two lower cards. While these hands are possible they are (especially two unpaired babies) less likely. We all (at least muse and I!) agree that the 77 is probably ahead. The amount of edge will depend on the blinds to stack ratio, and whether calling is right or not, depends on how much risk you want to take.

I'd love to hear from Quandrum (sorry about mis-spelling your name earlier mate!) about the last point (size of blinds and stacks)
