Weekend Happy Thread

ajmargarine · #1 04-28-2006, 07:41 PM

How 'bout a thread where we post some hands we play this weekend, where we're happy with how we played the hand, and we stack a guy or take down a huge pot? (No shorties)

It might have some strategic content as people will see a variety of hands and many of them will be so basic that they're not worthy of posting, but maybe someone sees something to help them out. At any rate, it'll keep us smilin' and remembering that a villian's stack is just a hand or two away.

Remember to post results and use a converter.

I'll go first with my tricky/trappy self:

Nothing too strategic about this one. But man, how great does it feel when you hit the PERFECT card. If I were to reach into the deck and pick a turn card, I'd pick this one.

P.S. Don't complete in the SB with trash like me.

If we're gonna talk strat, what do you think about a call turn raise/push river line? I pushed turn mainly because I was just pretty sure he was calling.

Get it in there while he is showing interest is my new motto. Turn is best, IMO.
