Here is what we got:

Let’s see how ChatGPT did compared to a real meltdown…

Hand Replay: Death by the Over Pair

This replay of the week highlights the danger of an over pair. By definition an over pair is any pocket pair with cards ranking higher than any single card on the board… In this case, we will examine the player sitting on the button with pocket Kings (KK) in a heads up battle. The flop delivers 4, 6, 9 off suit… Only one problem, this player was heads up with an opponent holding pocket nines (99)…

Click this link to see how it panned out.

Lesson learned, an over pair is a great hand, but at the end of the day, it’s still only a pair.

We will pick a new hand to review each week. Post your hand replays on Twitter. Send them to @Poker_Now_Club and use the hashtags #PokerNow.
