Overqualified

Scooping is the platinum rule for split pot games, smart players say, and something to always ask yourself about when employing good hand selection at the outset of any pot: am I playing for the whole pot, or just for half? If the answer is the latter, strongly consider folding.

This six-card straight flush is the definition of overqualified; sadly I bubbled this H.O.R.S.E. tourney despite this massive scoop in the mid-stages of the tourney. I like to call Stud8 the freeroll level in such tourneys.
