60/40 is not a coin flip imo

It"s overcards vs pocket pair.

Personally I hate it when AQ comes up against KJ and it"s called a flip.

NO IT ISN"T!

A "proper" coin flip is 50/50 or maybe 45/55 at a push.  BUT, a 60/40 is still a coin toss of sorts.  Maybe one stacked in your favour, but there are still a hell of a lot of times the coin comes down the wrong way.   ac kc v  7d 5s for example... (which is even worse than 60/40).

I prefer the term "race" for 60/40 situations rather than coin-toss.  It"s not a coin-toss.  If a term is needed and we can"t just call it close or 60/40 - it"s more of a race, just one dude has to run 80 meters and the other dude has to run 120.

The other thing to consider that if you have to race twice and you"re 60/40 favourite both times - then the odds are against you to win both races.
