Compare Hawks players to NL Hold 'em hands

[CBAreject]

I will start with Zaza Pachulia.

Zaza Pachulia is like J2 offsuit. It's ugly, and you almost never want to play it, but it's better than 72.

That brings me to Lo, who is 72 off. Just about the worst you can do.

OK, someone continue this ridiculous comparison.

Joe Johnson is like pocket Kings.

U like the hand, but its not better than POCKET Aces.

Josh Smith is like a JACK and QUEEN off suit. you will gladly play this hand and go as far as u can. but beware- this hand may be a tease.

Ty Lue is like POCKET 7s. U just donno what to do w/ it. Play it? Fold?

Play it = start him.

Fold = bench him.

theres lotta hands better than POCKET 7s... and u can certainly do worse!

Speedy Claxton is like a 8 and 9 offsuit w/ the corners of the 8 card all BENT and stuff. People are complaining and hoping the dealer use a new deck of cards. Even in CARDS, the guy is INJURED.

MARVIN WILLIAMS is an ACE and 4. Sometimes that 4 screws you over, but when u first see ur hand w/ an ACE + 4... u love the potential w/ the ACE card so u play it. after the draw, ur thinking "DAMMIT- why did i play this hand?" but u keep ur composure hoping that the TURN/RIVER card bails you out. or u just fold.

Salim is like 78 suited. Most of the time it is a loser but when it hits you can win a big pot.

JJ is like KK. It will get cracked on occassion but most of the time it is a winner.

All these at a full table:

Josh Smith - KQ suited...lotsa options to go big but still vulnerable to an ace (dominating center)

Joe J - JJ, just like his name, usually the best hand, can be knocked out by a higher double-team (pair).

Zaza - Q9 suited. Needs to pair up, outside chance of a straight...generally shows up and wins once in every 4 or 5 hands (games).

Speedy - A2. When the ace pairs on the flop it works, but it seldom shows up.

Marvin - 66. Gotta hope for further development to stay in after the flop.

JChillz - 89 suited. Can work with assistance.

TLue - K5, Gets hot occasionally and tempts one to stay in the game too often.

Salim - can only relate this to Omaha since we need 4 cards for Salim to get the odds right. AJ52, gets a major flop a couple times a year.

Shelden - Blackjack hand...bust.
