A-Q of diamonds? Pretty strong starting hand, but it gets cracked frequently by A-K, A-A, K-K, or even Q-Q....just enough of a hand to cause you real grief (when it's yours) in NL hold 'em, looks good but (frequently) lacks substance....<G> I had that hand at a single table satellite at Binion's in April. $220 entry fee, 10 players, winner got a seat in the next day's $2000 buy in NL HE event. Within 8 hands, 3 players had already busted out, when I got A-Q of diamonds on the button. Player to my right flat called...I raised all in. He IMMEDIATELY pushed in all his chips and turned over K-K! No ace hit the board, busted out, minus $220 for approximately 5 minutes "entertainment"....HO HO HO!
