150/300 hand: neverwin vs kurosh

[TStoneMBD]

This hand is from a long time ago. Kurosh, oreogod and I were discussing hands from kurosh's 150/300 session months ago and we thought this hand would get some good conversation here. Let's please refrain from the jokes and focus on poker strategy instead.

To answer our debate, hero will be neverwin and villain is kurosh.
