This hand represents the biggest pot I have won to date and the amazing thing is that it was won with just a single pair. It was my 1st hand at the table and wow did I choose a good table!!. After the turn cap by MP1 I figured I was probably beat, but when the river was checked to me, I just had to make what I thought was a value bet. Can't imagine what UTG+1 & MP1 actually held? Both of them along with CO are now on my buddy list.
I guess this is also a good hand to demonstrate that when you get pocket rockets you want as many callers as possible.
Has anyone else won a larger pot with just 1 pair at showdown?
Look forward to hearing from you.
