Those are some crazy hands!!!
WTG JOHN!
That Q 10 hand was a tough one. I think you played it right. It's just a good thing it wasn't no limit, or it could've gotten nasty.
Take care and good luck out there. Happy Thanksgiving to you to.
Great commentary there John.....Story started out like my poker luck recently, only thing is your story has a happy ending.......still waiting for mine. Crazy how much you love and hate something so much at the same time.
Good recovery.
