I want to play against Ruffino every day.

[Sente]

Very interesting hand. I ran the odds pre-flop. They are going to surprise some people.

AA - 53%
KJs - 14%
QQ - 14%
T9s - 19% (the eventual winning hand)

So you can goof on Ruffino but he had the second best chance of winning the hand. The call was still a stretch, but no one should have been calling that re-raise either.

[MasterShake]

I figured Split for AA, KK, or AK...maybe even AQ. I wasn't sure about plasticchair, but I was pretty confident I had him beat. I had NO friggin clue what Ruffino had. I basically called because of all of the money that was in there . In fact, when I saw the Q hit the board I was pretty sure I'd won. Oh Well. It was only $8. :D

Ya, it would have been a hard lay down... but I think I would have given up the queens with so many raises and an all - in pre flop. Seems like someone would have to have AA or KK.

The 910suited was a tough call too. My analyzer came up with similar results as Sente, but heads up QQ would beet 910s about 80% of the time. It's strange that the addition of a AA and KJ would give better odds to the 910s (in relation to QQ). I wonder if it cuts down on the number of straights the QQ will get?
