After reading ESPNs "The best hand I've ever played".....
My question to you is the same..........
What is the best hand you have ever played? Also by the way its a nice short poker book to read about stories, won't teach you much! But some nice stories......
Anyways here is what I feel the best hand I ever played was....... (At a home game)
I was in the dealer position with about 7500 in chips (equal amongst all four players) blinds at, 100-200. I look down and see KK
I just limp, and get one pre-flop raise from the BB to 600. I just flat call.
Flop comes 2 - 10 - 5 rainbow.
BB checks
I throw in a value bet of 750 into the pot.
BB calls
Turn is a 3
BB checks
I check in hopes to trap
River is a J
BB checks
I value bet for 800
BB raises to 3 000
I really thought about it, and really thought I was beat.... I know KK is pretty but something about it! Plus the read on the player was he was solid player.
I fold......
I know this hand doesn't mean much to most of you, but as a fairly still inexperience player it taught me that I can still be beat in uncertian situations.
By the way the other played mucked aces, and stated "I was hoping to get more action out of you"..... He is a very solid player as well. But it was a hand I am proud of, because to win you gotta conserve chips not just win them!
Anyways what is "your best hand"?
