Splat

I'm so crushed, it's not funny.

I'm ahead preflop. 40.17 to win. Meaningless, I know. 15% on flop with an OESD and 2 pair. Would I play it the same way again? Would you?

Hwang points out that a simple OESD with nothing on top is pure crap. I should have learned my lesson on this hand, but I didn't. I may have had a chance and therefore a reason to call with the two pair added, but now that I look at it again, I don't think so. As it played out, even though UTG+1 was a 3 to 1 favorite on the turn, it still wasn't good enough.
