Weekend Happy Thread XIX: The game of least mistakes
 

N00bs and rubes, NL is a game where we can be playing for stacks on any given hand. You should find within this thread various methods of getting your stack in the middle. Open to all, post your awesomeness here. Enjoy!

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.

Booya! I ran good tonight. Four qualifying stackages four your reading pleasure:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed)

Hero ($27.80)
BB ($3.20)
UTG ($16.70)
MP ($15.25)
CO ($24.65)
Button ($25)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls $0.25, CO calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($1) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>

Turn: ($15) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $12</font>, CO calls $12.

Awkward bet sizing here, but I didn't want to overbet the pot. Probably should've made it $9 on the flop so a turn push would be a PSB.

River: ($39) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $6</font>, CO calls $5.40 (All-In).

Final Pot: $50.40

Results below:
Hero has 5s 5d (three of a kind, fives).
CO has Jc Qc (two pair, queens and jacks).
Outcome: Hero wins $50.40.

MP is 90/4/3 - I remember him from my 5NL days: TPTK is the nuts against him.
