I never won because I usually fold, But I've seen so many times someone wining with the most stupid hands that I wouldn't even be suprised if someone won the final table with such hand.
I only really play them if I'm on Big Blind and I don't need to bet, so I see the cards.
But betting with this hand, I've never done it. Maybe because it sounds f*cking stupid, but who knows, you might actually get a 4oaK.

I actually one with it on PP a few nights ago(Got the achievement to prove it) Was on the BB with it obvious and only one guy limped in. Called him down on the turn and river with a pair of twos as that guy kept min raising.
I was playing that Jet fighter free roll on 888poker didn't want too play because only first place got a prize so i shoved with 27 off 1 caller Q Q hit two pair on the flop then a Q on the turn that's probably the first time i played this hand this past year no value in it whatsoever

It's all about using the principles of poker and not just relying on monster hole cards, which so many people do, which is why those players don't succeeed as much as those who learn the etiquette and principles and exploit lack of appreciation to win with absolutely anything.

I never win with that hand because i never play that hand lol
I think i only played it two or three times when i was bb and all other did not raised. But i did not catch any pair with it and it was an easy fold of course!

how often do you win with 2/7 offsuit depends only on the stat- how many times you play that hand or go all-in with it. naturally if you go all-in every time you get deal 27o you will win with this hand a lot more times than someone who continuously folds this hand... question should be raised here- how many of you actually show long term profit playing with 2/7 offsuit?

With this badest hand in poker, i´ve never pay anything to see the flop (ok only with the bb). But to steal some blinds at the button in zoom/fast poker, it is ok to Play this hand sometimes. But lately at the flop you have a little problem to handle this nice hole Cards But it seems, it was the dream for every gambler to play only the bad hands...

Hmm yes playing 720 will win sometimes if you go all in against AA, but the odds are low for that to happen and in the long run it will cost you more money than making you money, based on simple maths. Anyway i remember a promotion at pokerstars where we had to play and win with any 72o, it was some fun days got donated some stacks by players as they were chasing this promotion. Anyway bad hand so do not play them and fold as usual!

These hands are never good to play unless like you said you are the big blind and it is limped around to you. The only way to play 7 2 off suit is to either raise and hope they fold or go get yourself a drink and play the next hand!

I never Play this Kind of poker Hand (only in the bb) and so i never won with this Hand. But to steal at the button, you can use every Hand, why not 2-7 os. Some guys are playing no Hands, only the Position, othe one every hand. The online poker world are relly crazy and it is not easy to Play against a mnicac without tracking software.

I don't usually play that hand but sometimes it happens. And it should be considered normal, if the person who's playing it is in one of the next situations: 1- If you're chipleader and you will just be playing against someone who's ready to lose everything on the blinds, and the amount of chips you will be giving him will not support him that much on the game in case he wins. 2- If you're blind dead.
But it seems, it was the dream for every gambler to play only the bad hands...
