It's a story that has managed to linger around long enough to earn it's own place in poker lore. Apparently someone, somewhere, ran a computer simulation to see which hands in Texas Hold'em were worth playing. As the legend goes, this computer revealed that Q-7 was the worst of the profitable hands. In actuality, Q-7 - which still carries the nickname 'the computer hand' - is a pretty awful holding, and there's not a winning poker player in the world who would play it with any regularity.
