Well not "Best" but recent.....


Me and some buddies are out all night drinking shots, beer, bourbon, mudslides etc.

I'm falling down drunk. I decide to go play no-limit hold'em. I tell my buddies to come along and sweat me and get unlimited free drinks.


I buy-in for $200. A small raise to me on my first hand. I look down to find 66. I'm too drunk for any post-flop thinking, I push.


Folded to pre-flop raiser. He does the TV pre-flop chip dance, the WPT stare-down and the "I know I have you beat" speech.

I look at him and say, "If you have me beat b!tch, put your money in the pot".

He calls.


99, Oh well, I'm drunk & Stupid.


I just hang my head in drunken shame as the flop, turn & river are being delivered to their proper destination. Never looking up

I bring my head up from shame and look over to Mr 99 to see if he rightfully lets me have it for my friendly trash talking.

He's not there. I just see his back as he's walking to the rail. I look down at the board cards. A beautiful sexy six. And my hand is good. YMMV.
