Post by billryan »

 I'm playing Quick Quads, fifty play- thankfully on the trainer and am dealt 10H, 10S, 8D, 8C and 2DI see I have two pair, but with the 8D, and 2D also have three 10s. Try to do some quick math- can expect 2,maybe 3 quick quads for about 700 or 50 two pair and a few FHs for a little less. I opt for the Quick Quad option. Hold the two tens, hold the 8D and the 2D.  As I've learned. I check again, going left to right, then go right to left. As I'm going to my left I see 2D, then 8C2=8 =10 I hold the 8C, hit draw and realize I completely screwed up and held the two pair with no chance to improve it.
