Not only is @puntoftheday.com blog the best, Sam kindly takes suggestions of hands to analyze, as he did today with a hand from the APT main. I requested it because I would feel like puking facing a jam on the river, and puking usually = indifference. Heuristic held! www.puntoftheday.com/p/potd-185
