Big Slick

given my intitials and my e-mail handle, you may find it ironic that in hold 'em, big slick doesn't rank amongst my favorite hands . . . i would go on the offensive with it, but never on the defensive . . . (it's not worth going on the defensive regardless in poker) . . . i was watching the WPT the other day . . . someone raised with Big Slick, and got re-raised with someone holding A 10 . . . after pondering, he folded. what could possibly be better than AK preflop? do you think someone would re-raise w / pokcet 2's? AA and KK . . . are amongst the few candidates that are better. unless you're up for all your chips, it was right to call that re-raise, or rather re-raise that re-raise
