Dear Gary

I've been practing playing my 2 5 diamonds, and trying to get max value where possible.

Do you think i'm the best 2 5 d player on sky, or is there still room for improvement?

I know 1 day I will be the best 2 5 d player on here, well apart from you of course!

Posted by LARSON7

I'm very impressed with your progress Larson, undoubtedly you're now extracting a lot more value with the mighty 2d5d than most on Sky. However as poker players we should never grow complacent, it's important that we always strive to improve to improve all areas of our game and stay ahead of the opposition.

Excellent work guys, thanks for keeping the thread alive 

I've been card dead for a while, keep picking up premium pairs, AK, and other junk like that. Hopefully the variance will even out soon and I'll start picking up the nuts again, ie 2d5d.

It only comes along once in every 1326 hands on average, I'm due a cluster sooner or later.
