No offense intended, but whenever I see these GM hands posted I always wonder how many chips people spew trying to hit something like this so they can make a NC post about it [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I've actually only attempted it three times. Once live, twice online. This is the first time I followed through all the way. And I just got the same hand and folded in the same position. Just thought it was fun.

I'm at .74BB/hand with Q5s, I'm good

I didn't used to realize the power of Q5s. My overall with it is .24BB. If I take the last six weeks though, which is about when I realized I should be playing this hand aggressively, I'm at .80BB with 33 tries.

Okay I will bite. And give power to the NCOP. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Q5s. 62 times. VP$IP 1.6%. bb/hand .07.

My bb/hand with QJs is only .01!

Ugh.

You can't make any money with them if you don't play them. My VPIP with them is 57% (.80BB/hand). It would be higher but I forget to play them sometimes.

is it just me, or does that PF play look, well, sub-optimal?

Yeah, someone should have raised so Hero could get it capped.

Q5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] is the GrannyMae hand. It's a Zoo thing...

[turaho]

Someday I will raise/cap this hand. Most likely the day after I inherit a few million dollars from a long-lost relative, I win the lottery, and a small plane full of gold and cocaine crashes in my backyard.
