Also, there's just some plain painful stuff in there. "(the flop) reveals the straight I've been chasing is no longer a possibility"? You don't really "chase a straight" preflop and AQ is a not a hand that even the biggest noob would refer to in that way preflop. It seems the author just wanted to include something about "chasing", context be damned.

I got the same feeling reading the article, but you have to realize that it's written by a self-proclaimed "total novice." There's obviously going to be some misuse of poker concepts and terminology.
