    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

    another sign of why it could be the nuts is i still don't think i have had it dealt to me and the amount of time i spend online and the number of AA which were the same two suited cards must be even more reason why this hand is unstoppable.

    I can't see the HH, but it sounds like you got unlucky this time. Obviously the AQ will suck-out occasionally, but 2d5d will hold-up most of the time.

    I would never say your name on here, however you are correct and I stand by what I said in the chat box, anybody who calls a 4 and half k all in with this hand is a complete donk in my book, sorry if this upsets you but I am correct in this, it is a horrid bad beat by a horrid call. however like I said best of luck was my parting shoot.

    I flopped a full house with my 5d2d last night at the pub, it was everyone elses fault for limping in and letting me see a free flop from the big blind with this absolute monster of a hand ;)

    Didn't get much action though, everyone folded :( but it just goes to show, its a powerful hand in live poker as well as online!! :P
