A fun limit hand

So I joined PokerSavvy Plus to watch some videos because of the free 7 day trial and also because of Matusow. Some good stuff on there, haven't got to all of it but Matusow had some good videos on there. A lot of it is HORSE and limit 08, but he has a few NL videos on there. Anyway I was watching a series he was doing entited "HORSEing around" where he does a video for each of the 5 horse games. The first one I watched on limit hold'em he was playing 15/30 and cleaning up. Seemed like fun, so I gave it a try. Here's one hand.

Didn't get a chance to get over to the Rio to check out the WSOP either, ah well. Little disappointed at the offerings; what I posted Sunday applies to a lot of the places on the strip as well. Went on Tuesday (really the only chance I got to go out on my own and do some exploring) to a lot of the casinos down there and the Flamingo was the only casino that had a limit game going. Considered jumping in but said fuck it and just walked around and explored the strip some more. One of the people in our group did play a tournament at the Wynn and finished in the top 3 (the remaining players decided to end the tourney right there and split the prize pool).  But for me there was plen...
