Pollak Doesn't Like Queens

Over on Kevin Pollak's table, he was busy opening the pot to 900 from under the gun. A middle position player then three-bet to 2,100 and the action was back on Pollak. At this point Pollak started talking about his hand a little, asking his opponent some questions. The dealer informed Pollak that this was against the rules and Pollak quietly went into the tank.

"Alright, well i'm gonna need a minute here," said Pollak as he continued to think hard. "I guess i can talk about my hand now, seeing as i'm folding," Pollak exclaimed as he folded {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} face up.

"I just hate queens," added Pollak. "I lose way more than i win with them."

Pollak's opponent then asked Pollak if he wanted to see one card. Pollack said yes and the player turned over a {k-Spades}.
