Weekend Happy Thread X: Runnin' Hot

[ajmargarine]

Friday, Oh my beautiful Friday. How about we seriously own the weekend? It's time for a bunch of SSNL'ers to run wickedly hot and double their bankrolls. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

What is this thread? Well, it's become a tradition. It's a thread where you can post the hands you play this weekend where you win a stack or two and brag on yourself. Some of the hands are pretty straightforward: AA ai PF or stacking with sets. Sometimes though, there's a uniquely played hand where we can all learn a thing or two. So, have at it.

Requirements for posting hands in this thread:

1. Hero believes he played the hand well.
2. HERO MUST WIN AT LEAST 80 bb's.
3. Post only converted hands and remember to post results.
4. It's also very nice of you if you can take the results out of white, so we don't have to highlight to see them.
5. If it's not obvious why you played the hand the way you did, give a quick reasoning.

So, if you play a hand that qualifies over the weekend, post it here and share the joy. Weekend starts now and runs through Sunday night.

Per usual, I'll start with my latest stackage:
