What's the fascination with KQ?

[scottjf8]

I've been called so many times lately with someone holding KQ. Has anyone else noticed KQ being played like it's AA?

Is it just that these people don't feel they play poker well, so they have to just race...

What's the fascination with DONKAMENTS?

[Dan87]

maybe he put you on an underpair (which you had), or a weaker pushing hand like a-j and it was still almost a coinflip, and he had you covered 3 times and felt like gambling

dont bitch because you lost a legitimate coinflip, did you read about a year ago in zeejustins blog his tldr explanation on why he called a push with kq in the sunday million?

Did he call because it was against himself and his other self had KJ?

I think there's a difference between jamming with TT and calling off with it....

[bdams19]

Of course there's no difference. You get your money in either way so it doesn't matter.

He put you on TT?
