The video\’s kinda old, but hey, it\’s new to me … and we haven\’t paid much attention to what\’s going on over at the PartyPoker tables ever since they bid us farewell. So unbelievable … crazy hands and crazy beats are still happening! Check it out below … this hand took place on one of Party\’s many European infomercials televised events:
Wow, it\’s like an underpair beats an overpair almost 20 percent of the time or something! Nice hand.
OK, upon further research — was looking for the exact percentages — this is not the first time this hand has come up. Something similar shook down in 2002. That, of course, is the year that PartyPoker officially launched. Um, can we say scripted? Obviously.
(But clever touch adding in the pocket 5s and 7s … it almost threw me off track.)
This one is better, Dan

Why are you surprised that an underpair is beating an overpair almost 20 % of the time?
If u study pokermath, you should know that you are a 4-1 underdog if u have an underpair against a higher pair. So 20 % is a normal percentage…
