[Talking Poker]

Here's a brutal hand against a guy that I have played against a lot at the lower limits (5/10 NL, mostly). I have a note on this guy - he's one of the best players on Full Tilt (at the lower limits, anyway), no question about it. He's a huge winner.

Then again, shit like this doesn't hurt his numbers, either:
