Now That's a Hold 'Em Hand

Matthew Yglesias flops four sevens, uses them to extract much money from two separate Queens-over-sevens boats. That's quite a hand. I don't see many four of a kinds; the best I've drawn lately was a kings-high boat and an ace-low straight (both of which I needed to win last night).

Of course, for every winner there must be a loser. On that note, I will mention in passing that at a recent visit to Foxwoods a friend drew three full houses during the evening, each of which was beaten by a four of a kind. Sublimely bad luck.
