Often known as the Heniz hand, the ketchup hand, the steak hand, or other various plays on the famous brand of sauces, five seven is a good mid-tier connector that for the right price and return can be a decent investment for the prospecting poker player. Surely you’d rather be pushing the action with these hands, not only to gain the value of the aggression but also to disguise when you are raising with actual big cards, but it can also be fun and worthwhile to call a raise trying to catch a flop, especially if you are deep stacked.

I like the five seven over poker online hands like 3 5 and therein because it has the added bonus of sometimes flopping middle pair, or even top pair, which might get you into trouble sometimes, but can also end up being enough to aggress your way into the winner’s circle. It might also end up being the best hand.

It is also a good idea sometimes for the online poker player with the very tight reputation to get out there and throw in a raise with this kind of hand sometimes. It varies your image and you might actually flop something they’ll never expect you to come out with.
