Hand of the day

Very nice weekend to you too my friend

Not sure what all the analysis is about but given the way the final table was played out (I know, you guys don't obviously) 55 definately is a good hand of his part. I flat aces because I know the ppl behind me are willing to give lots of action. Also the openraiser folded to most of the action he received so 3betting wasn't maxEV option I think.

What makes this even funner is that he posted "what a joke" into the chat.
The joke is that had he open-raised his queens, he had the blinds with no effort.
Instead he under played his hand pre-draw and over-played it post.

daamn, thats a nice hand
