A Mirage

Level 8 : 0/0, 6,000 ante

Dylan Wilkerson shoved over a couple of limps. It folded back to Dan Shak on his right and Shak thought awhile, sighed and flashed {k-Spades}{q-Spades} as he folded.

Afterward, the players discussed short deck strategy and equities a bit, with Maurice Hawkins expressing some surprise at the fold. Wilkerson confirmed even most dominated hands are around 70-30 in short deck.

"Well, it looks better than it is," Shak said. "Being suited doesn't really help that much, it's a mirage."

"Why doesn't it help?"

"Because flushes don't really come in."
