for reasons already hinted at, i’m not texting to the live updates website, but my first level today was a bad one. After losing a few small pots, I got a short stack all in with my AQ vs his A7. Seven on the flop and I’m slashed down to 18000. He picks up his Ace and points it at me, saying “the first one I’ve seen all day” as if that were a good excuse. I’ve clawed back to 22000. Still room to maneuver.
Just once I’d like AQ tohold up against a dominated hand.
When I see an A-Q, I want to file for divorce. And I’m single! I believe mid-level pairs are thought by pros to be the toughest holdings to play, but I’ve had way more heartburn with A-Q than any other holding.
