This hand came up in a session with Hockyguy. We are both interested in different perspectives for the turn. Any comments?

Hey All,

After going through Hockey Guy's and Matt's HU thread, where Matt did some hand analysis for HG (this was very informative, and interesting to follow both trainers responces) I started thinking about HG's micro stakes challenge and Matt's HU challenge.. but with a twist..
