Crack the Hand for $20

naphand · #1 08-05-2005, 04:49 AM

In deference to stripsqueez for the original over in the HUSH forum.

Firstly - all the no-content police should stop reading now and go elsewhere for there is little here by way of education.

The plan is get inside the minds of donkeys and guess their cards. Each week (although I reserve the right to opt out at any time, or take time off for any reason) I hope to post a silly hand and offer forum users the chance to play for $20 cash.

The rules of eligibility are:
(1) Only those who have posted in the last week in the small stakes forum
(2) Only the first 2 pages of replies (for my settings about 100), to avoid process-of-elimination and save my eyes.
(3) Only replies received BEFORE the results are posted!
(4) Suits count, the high card suit being the most important.
(5) In the event of no exact answer (wrong suit/s), I reserve the right to choose a winner or not, depending on how grumpy I am.
(6) Where duplicate correct answers are recieved the first-posted wins.

To this end it would be helpful for responders to post their guess in the subject line of their reply.

THE HAND

Table is fairly typical with most players quite tight and somewhat weak, SB is LAG. Donky has been at the table a couple of orbits and been limping into his hands, I have not seen him raise PF yet. I love to raise limpers and suspect this is a frustration-based LRR. His handle contains the word "jam".

[/ QUOTE ]good point.

as for if op is beat...no way in hell. He probably has AK or K's, maybe a smaller pocket pair.

I think there actually is room for some educational content in this post. Here's one:

1. Raising AA post-flop is usually good.

Agreed. And if there was some raising instead of just calling, this would be a much easier $20 to earn because we might gain some information. But its his twenty, let him spend anyway he wants. Or tease us because the answer is two completely random cards that no one in 100 responses would guess.

probably already knew he was gonna use this hand for this game, so he figured he'd make it tougher for us to guess... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

While some acidic remarks make me smile, I actually laughed out loud with this one. nh sir. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I am not sure if it is your belief that I set it up, or that your comment is so typical of a long-term cynic that makes it so funny.

I think you need to get out more and re-establish your trust in human nature... [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
