Silly hand of the day (Warning: results oriented content)

Isnt it funny how playing a hand wrong on almost every street can pay off so handsomely?

After reading on the forum that in 6-max you could/should open raise with any suited connectors, I decided to try it out.

I did mostly everything wrong of course.

The table seemed very tight-scared, with three players with VP$IP under 20 (something I thought was impossible at this level).
Whenever I missed the flop, the continuation bet usually did the trick.

So I decided to open raise UTG with T8s.
And check my flopped trips.
And min-raise the turn with a flush draw on board.
And win a nice big pot.
And gloat like only a real donk can.

Villain was the most loose player at the table.
Just wish I could have seen his face at showdown.
LMAO as they say.

I'd almost rather read the other guy's bad beat post.

I know, I know: you warned us about the content. But still.
