Mr QQQ, I believed you and the mythical abilities of the moster that is the 2 5 of diamonds. Even though I knew I was behind, i could not see how i would not fill up.......
I think you are due me a buy in for false advertising, lol
I can't read the hand history above, however you need to remember that this is poker we're playing. Occasionally inferior holdings like pocket AA will suck-out on the 2d5d, nothing is guaranteed.
However I can assure you the luck always evens out in the long run, 2d5d will show a healthy profit over time
Greg Merson, the 2012 WSOP ME winner, has obviously been reading this thread. He won a 312K pot with 2d5d on Day 4 of this years ME. The hand is 9 minutes into episode 4 if you're watching it on Youtube. He made an incredible river call with bottom pair on a very scary board.
PS If you're not watching it you should be watching it.

It's the nature of poker unfortunately, you have to embrace the variance, it's an unavoidable part of the game.
Nothing is guaranteed, occasionally inferior holdings like premium pairs and strong aces will suck-out on the stone-cold nuts (2d5d). You must focus on the bigger picture and remember that over a large sample your 2d5d will return a big profit against that range.
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.

I cashed, couldn't have done it without the power of the mighty 2d5d.
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!
Bounty Hunter, stone-cold bubble;
I was a victim of the might 2d5d, got trapped. Maybe I shouldn't have let the secret out?
that's it me and 5d2d just don't go together I went out 2 MTTs with it last week
