Re: Keeping the Initiative (Stars 100 hand)
Playing very coordinated hands certainly helps, but the only two sidecards that are really helping you here are AK. If he'd played QQJT preflop and someone else has the straight, he would be in worse shape then you are right now.
Playing a raggy big pair at an aggressive tabl, even OOP, is a winning play. Certainly it is nice to have ways of winning other than flopping a set, but playing a one way hand to hit a flop or fold is certainly not as terrible as you make it out to be.
