A Brutal Hand at $10/$20 Limit Hold’em

Monday, March 10th, 2008

ace queen spadesFound this hand on cardschat, and feel bad for the guy with the AQ. What is the nines guy thinking on the flop? What was he thinking on the turn? Backing into a straight like that is awesome, but not for the guy with the AQ.

I’ve been reading hand histories way too much. I should tune it down, I’m getting a feeling like “waw poker is brutal, i should quit”.
