Help me set this hand
I like to start a discusion on first set up ofcp which seems and maybe is the most important step.

Some of these might be easy but i find them complicated.
#1 I play x/A3/99T but many prefer the other way
#2 x/AAJ/T3ss
#3-x/47/KQ5
I agree with #1 though flush flush is very apealing but I like pairs a lot.
# 2 I like J/AA/103 puting the J with AA is like throwing it away you can’t pair it if you hit J on the next draw and not unltil your bottom hand improves either to a flush draw or three of the kind that wont hapen often enough.
#3 is an easy one there shouldn’t be other alternative (but i could be wrong).
I posted this hand by mistake and wasn’t able to delete so sorry for that.
Thank yoy for your comment any help is realy apreciated.
Hi Jen, I have a question about the third hand. I know most people would set it your way, but what do you think about Q/K/457? This way, you would only need another Q and K (or AA) and 2 pair or better in the bottom for FL. The fact that a Q is already in play makes this setup less valuable here, but if all Qs were live, would my setup be a good one?
Hi xaxu here is what i think about third hand
Setting our hands with the best chance of getting to fl is not necessary the best way to play though it could be true many times, is not always the case.in this case Q/K/457 is playing against a hand with a nearly sure flush in the bottom, why give up the bottom with straight draw, if we make a flush we are likely to make the better one.
In the end player with most points wins, so finding a way to make more points is what we should do, getting to fl should be a tool for making more points not the goal itself.
Is obvious but forgotten many times and becomes expensive when playing for real money.
So Q/K/457 does not look very attractive other options look better but nobody can prove anything yet, all there is to base opening decisions is logic practice and experience but no science. good luck!
I like setting the pair in the first two with whatever you think is the best kicker....in the third one I just saw the 3 flush as best
Oh you are a pair fanatic pair trumps everything almost always!
