Weekend Happy Thread: In The Beginning

matrix · #1 09-23-2006, 08:33 PM

Gentlemen (and Gentlewomen) - Start Your Engines!

This forum has been up 24 hours now - it's the weekend - and we have no Happy Thread of our very own.

Let me be the first to carry on the SSNL tradition and start up MCNL's very first thread of happiness.

Friends, Countrymen, posters of MCNL, show us your stackage.
NL is such a game where we can play for our entire stack on any given hand. The idea of this thread is to showcase standard and sublime hands that might not otherwise get posted - in order to inspire greatness in those who read.
Post your awesomeness here, show us what you got...

hands posted here must pay the following blinds:

BB) Hero must believe he played the hand well.
SB) Hero must win at least 80BB's

*- Please remember to post results (if you can fix it so they're not in white and are easier to read then that's extra fabulous)
*- a little description never hurt anyone, so lettuce know why you took your line if it's not blatantly obvious.

*- extra bonus points for stacking a 2p2 villain.

and I think there really ought to be a prize (custom title? free session review?) for the most beautiful hand posted each week...

and finally, to get the ball rolling a little.

A little on the small side, only 110BB total. Interesting only because it is a BB Special, I 3bet the flop with trip fours and a 7 kicker (know you villian) turn a house, and get it all in. Apparant villian suckout on the river... or is it?
