Uhm, this is about when you are heads-up

Heads up, the ducks are going to give you about a 50% chance to come out ahead in a showdown against a random hand, and treys will give yoy slightly better than that.

With proper play though, this can give you an advantage. You already have a made hand, even though it's a small one, where your oppponent very well may not. So you can play this a little more aggressively than he does in the front end. You can lead with it, and pounce on any weakness. Other than that, you want to play it like any other average hand HU.

If you are shortstacked, push. If he is short stacked, push. If its even I'll muck preflop or play for set value.
