As for your hand.... I'm not sure that's really one to be proud of. You basically played weak and passive from beginning to end, and while you ended up folding the second best hand, you very easily could have been folding the winner or let your opponent catch up when you should have taken the pot down earlier. That's my take on it anyway.

The best hand I ever played.... good question. I'd have to think about it some more. One that immediately comes to mind was from the 2004 WSOP (one of the Add On events) where I actually let go a set of 6s to a relatively not dangerous board (no straight, no flush) because I was 100% certain my opponent was holding a set of Aces. When I threw the cards away - face up - the table gasped. One guy actually said it was the worst fold he had ever seen. Of course, he changed his mind when my opponent showed him his AA.

Edit: I have the details of this hand written down somewhere. Maybe I'll see if I can find them...
