Number Two Is Not Number One

Level 1 : 75/150, 0 ante

The late arrivals are currently being seated along the far row, with Bill Chen and Daniel Negreanu among them.

Negreanu was just now calling out to Chen, with Chen answering back how "he tends to lose the most money with number twos" — that is, the second-best hand in deuce-to-seven, {7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}.

"That's because you overplay them," cracked Negreanu with a grin. "How about stop being a victim and taking responsibility… number two is not number one!"

For the sake of reference, here are the best hands in deuce-to-seven lowball:
