Cool, I'll add to this.

This is a monster pot I played in today. Too bad I didn't win it. Turns out, my hand wasn't even second best. You have to love the button though.

I wonder if we can get Ellix Powers to post here... hey man, he called me down with jack high, JACK HIGH!

That's what inspired the title of this post.

The guy who overcalled with 9 high is getting close to bottomset's challenge. I'm curious if it can be met. I wonder if we'll have to put a bounty on that challenge to encourage people to scour their hand histories.

As for Deamon's ADD, anything that distracts you from poker is -EV. I also found that I got distracted playing 1 table, but I was much better focused with two. Perhaps give that a try. Alternatively, always check the hole cards of every hand that gets played. Get the best reads you possibly can about how your opponents play postflop. That'll be even more +EV as to BB/100 immediately as well as long term as you learn better poker faster. Adding a second table will add more BB/hr, and really, with a little practice you should be able to get the same quality of reads.

Ooh, I can beat it! It's an NL hand, but I'll be damned if that's going to stop me from taking this honour!

Noone can beat me either, I got called with the nut, nut, nut, nut low. Check this out. Villain is a maniac. I'm happy to just let him bet into me at this point, because he plays any two cards (as you can see!)

I folded on the flop, but UTG+2s play is outstanding!

Ugh. I think Button's play is actually the most embarassing in this hand. He played every street except the turn wrong. Still, what do you bet this guy thinks he's God's gift to poker?

He did have the nut low, but he didn't call with it, let alone overcall or cold call. He bet it. This is a gem, but I don't think it satisfies the conditions of the challenge. If bottomset wants to give credit, however, I guess that's his perogative.

Here's why you don't slowplay big pairs preflop. Or overplay the [censored] out of them postflop.
