The dangers of 99xx

[KuQuAT]

After last week's discussion about 9988, this hand came up. You could say that MP2 got what he deserved for being so loose, but maybe nobody deserves this.

Except for my pre-flop raise (which did nothing but build the pot, as it turns out), I was an innocent bystander...

I say he got what he deserved for playing such a ridiculously bad O8 starting hand.
