I tried explaining why Q7 is the computer hand, but they weren't having any of it.
Funny thing is a used to really enjoy the occasional aggro play with a suited gapper and at one point played a session where I was dealt Q9s a bit more than ordinarily and that volume got me to realize I was really overplaying Q9s more often than not, love the hand but was playing it way too frequently and aggressively.
Wondered if this was a leak I needed to address and sure enough I was indeed playing it super aggro, about same as in it were AJs/AQo/99/TT type hand but miraculously was up about 19bb/100 on it. This was in a data set of over 300k overall hands too. Wish I still had that laptop as I could post a screenshot but it definitely taught me a huge lesson about the mind's propensity for donk play on specific hands due to prior subconscious success.
Never looked at specific hands too much prior to that but it really got me to really look at leaks more specifically, even looking for things that I thought I was way too advanced and knowledgable to ever fall for but while grinding out a dozen tables at a time you don't really pay attention to all those Q9s 3bs when they appear every once in a while.
I'm also pretty sure prior to that I may have stated a few times that Q9s was my favorite hand.
