How Not To Play Pocket Queens
Find Q-Q in the pocket. Raise by simply doubling the big blind. Find a few callers. See a flop of 5-4-2. Check it. See an A on the river. Go all-in. Have the guy you allowed to stay in--by not raising enough before the flop and by slow-playing it afterwards--turn over a disgusting K-3. I'd say it was a lesson learned, but I already knew what to do and botched it.
