Dominated

The most memorable hand of last night's tournament was the final one. I was dealt AJo (ace jack offsuit), shoved, and got one caller. He turned over AQo (ace queen offsuit), and I knew I was in for a world of hurt. His hand dominated mine; I had just a 23.62% chance of winning. To show you how cruel poker can be, the very worst starting hand in poker, 72o (seven deuce offsuit, affectionately known as the hammer) actually fares better against AQo than AJo does; the hammer has a 32.34% chance of winning. Of course, I hit the rail, but at least I registered an official place :-)
