Tactical Tuesday #20: Ace Queen Offsuit Battles at $5-$10 Online

Chasing Poker Greatness

Tactical Tuesday returns this week with a breakdown of two AQ hands that Coach Brad played recently at 5/10NL on Ignition. Coach Brad gets to the river in both hands, yet finds himself with two very different decisions. Should he fire a bluff on the river in a 4bet pot with nothing but AQ high? Should he raise a river bet for value with top pair-top kicker? Find out on today's episode!
