Weekend Happy Thread: Labor Day edition

[ajmargarine]

Let us gogogogo with one of these over this long holiday weekend. While many people will be outdoors enjoying the last weekend of summer, many others will lock themselves in their bedrooms with a case of Red Bull and spew to us so we can pay our bills.

--------

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. Be polite, take results out of white.
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 Monday night.

Not sure what stakes I'm gonna play this weekend but had a nice NL100 session earlier that included this hand:

She was kind of not good. Passive-ish. After turn, I figured she had AA with the diamond. (she was limping in preflop with hands that make a set there or a straight and she would have pushed a flush on the turn). I just didn't think she'd call a push even with Aces.

Here is my biggest hand from today. I pushed since I knew he was on tilt and would fist pump call with AJ,QJ, and JT.

This hand reminds me of playing at party with 50bb stacks. I was at least giving this guy credit for JJ+. Note now says...defends his blind and Stcks off with TPGK.
