I've been experiencing a bit of variance lately, with a lot of run ups and quick reversals, mostly due to trying expand my game. That is to say, raising more preflop, playing more speculative hands in late position, etc...
In any case I just wanted to share this little hand as a friendly reminder that you should raise your aces preflop.
