Just how bad? Sometimes it doesn't matter.

Stan was killing the 8-Game last night.  (I wasn't doing to bad either, until Aces full took my 10s full down. Thank God it was Limit Hold 'em and I thought the pre-flop suggested Aces in the hole.) Not only are there soft spots, they keep showing up night after night.

He says he was going for implied odds if a Jack hit. I post this hand with Stan's blessing:
