I just won a HUGE pot on a great play

[henrikrh]

This is at pokerrooms 0.25 cent NL HE tables, head's up...

I have two red aces, american airlines, pocket rockets, ACES BABY!!

So the guy (possibly a donkey or a fish or some other animal) raises me, I reraise, he comes right back over the top for almost $2 more, I think for like 8 seconds, then I see the timer is running down, in an epifinal (speeling?) moment of poker genius I reraise, ALL IN!!!! The sucker calls mee with AA, one is a spade and one is a club. The board comess alot of red stuffs and now theres like 15$$ in my account!!!!

BTW (by the way), anyone have any advice for turning pro?

Do you know how many more red flushes i see than black flushes? Other player's a friggin fish.



P.S. On turning pro, pick up play poker like the pros by helmuth. Can't go wrong there.

So far I satrted out with 0.001 stacks of high society, now I have about 0.0025 stacks of high society and a few player points.

Here's some irony to go with the above sarcasm. I was messing around, between mtts and sat down at the old 25 cent tables and got aces after a few hands...

Forgot just how loose low limits could be, 65 and K3! Seriouly?!

Flopping quads is always nice.

I would not call that a great play. You both had Aces and you got lucky off the flop and hit a flush.
