Q3 is the nuts

[tw0please]

Hello BBV,

Was looking through my PT, and I was surprised to see that Q3s is one of my biggest winners by bb/hand. After studying the hhs, I have found that Q3 decidedly more backdoor flush, straight, and three pair outs than any other hand. Enjoy my donkey play!

Here I lose value, trying to slowplay the nuts.
