Thanks all. Just to let everyone know a little secret, the key to winning these challenges is to get fairly deep and then have QQ>KK and K2>AA. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks to kjellstrom (Poker goddess and MTTC Mom) for organizing.

Let's do it again in a few weeks.

[gdsdiscgolfer]

Or KT > KK (shortstacked w/ 24ish left) and A8 > AK (early on in FT) works
