Weekend Happy Thread Nov 16-18th

[LT22]

[ QUOTE ]
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.

Let the stacking commence!

Hey uNL. I decided to play some NL50 this weekend for relaxation, so I thought it would be fun to bring back a very old tradition that I haven't seen in months. Rules for posting hands are above.
