A Limit Hand

[peterbirks]

Well, for a blog purportedly about limit, I never actually seem to write much about it (unless you count triple draw, which I have still been thinking about).

So, here's a limit hand. The stakes might give you some clue of why I have been rather hesitant to talk too much about the game in the past week or so. I have no views about whether I played this hand correctly on any street whatsoever :-)

If anyone wants to make any derogatory comments before I explain my thought processes while playing this hand, I would be delighted to read them. Like I say, I'm not dogmatic that I did the right thing at any point.
