We're going to look real quick at the midland hands of crazy pineapple. Hands that work okay so first of all here's ten of hearts, nine of hearts, seven of spades. We probably would see a flop with this hand cause there wasn't a ton of raising going on before the flop. Because we're going to have the potential for a straight draw we might even drop a straight. We're also going to have a potential for a straight flush then with ten seven well, we have a two gap straight draw potential and with a nine seven we have a one gaper. So there is definitely potential with this hand and if we move down, we see a pair of eights and we see a jack that is suited with one of the eights. So we have the potential to flop a set, three eights maybe even four eights and we have the potential to catch a flush, catch a straight but there is not a ton of opportunities here. We are doing okay with this hand. Let's look at this last example of a so so hand in crazy pineapple, we do have a pair of aces and we are happy about that. But there is nothing else going on. We have ace six twice, ace six is not a good hand so we're going to hope with our aces, we're definitely going to raise before a flop. We are definitely going to make sure we get to the flop but what we're going to do is hope that with our aces that the flop comes unconnected as they say and that we catch an ace and be in charge with that hand.
