This week on Full Tuck: Aidan reveals some quite shocking news which will change our show forever, we discuss Aidan's dream opening hand and plan for our dream opening hand match off, and the famous stats segment makes its long awaited return!

We would love to know your dream opening hands and how you would play them, send them in and we will discuss some notable ones on the show!
