Cooler twofer

A cooler is a hand where two or more players are dealt a premium holding. Neither (or none) of the players will be likely to fold, so at least one player will be in for a world of hurt. Different players may have different ideas about what constitutes the most hurtful cooler. My cooler #1 is when one player has been dealt rockets (pocket aces) and another has been dealt cowboys (pocket kings). The player with the aces is an 81.06% favorite to win the hand, and stands to make a killing.

This is an excerpt from my October 9, 2020 post. My cooler #2 is set over set. Last night, I suffered both  a cooler #1 and a cooler #2. A cooler twofer, if you will (or even if you won't). I hit the felt on both of them. The cooler #2 hurt more in this instance, since I was in the money when disaster struck.
