With the very weak hand (7♣2❤️), by contrast, you're totally hamstrung. You rarely make a real hand, and you tend to be forced to bluff too often in ways that are pretty obvious. And almost every additional decision you have to make with the hand will compound your problems. — PolitiTweet.org

With the marginal hand (7♣6♣), you'll lose money if forced to go all-in. But you'll do fine in the context of an actual poker game, especially against hands like K♠J❤️. It has a lot of "playability": you can bluff, plus sometimes you do hit cards to make a flush, straight etc. — PolitiTweet.org

The key to the analogy is the longer you play (imagine you have to play 100 pots with 7♣2❤️ and similarly weak hands), the worse your problems tend to become. As a one-off, it's not *that* bad (if you mostly play strong hands) but over repeated trials, your strategy falls apart. — PolitiTweet.org
