The power of the BORGO

[Borgouise]

Okay, for those of you that dont know (eejit can verify) Q9 spades is known as the BORGO (as I never fold it) and it never loses. Edshez proved its power today, with my guarantee of a win.

i know its the BORGO as u call it, but all in for 7xBB UTG+1???? plenty better spots for this move Ed.

[Borgouise]

He was on my orders on this one eejo, you should know that. Seriously, how many people honestly push with Q9 spades? You know thats a Borgo demand!

[Edshez]

I agree i perhaps shouldnt have pushed with this hand but as you know eejit in P/Stars $3 rebuy it is not worth playing unless you are going to finish top 10, anywhere in the money below that means you have spent 4 or 5 hours playing to win just $40.

Note: I finished 73rd and collected $44.75

Waste of 4 hours if you ask me

Still impressive to get that deep - Congrats Ed (with the support of Borgo).
