Excellent job cheren1984, I'm impressed, very well played!

Hyper-turbo HU match on another site. Second hand of the game, I'd have folded any other 25o/25s to a 2.5x open, but there's no way I'm folding the mighty 2d5d

I love this thread haha. Who knew such a terrible hand is actually a monster in disguise?

I did have a hand during my last session where i raised with 2,5d on the button to steal the blinds and i flopped an open ended straight flush draw but my c-bet worked lol.

Can't find the hand history for it so will just have to take my word for it :P
