Great playing Jek.

Not sure how many would have slow played this pre-flop, but they would have missed a valuable half bet.

What's the big deal? You three bet a Granny Mae preflop. Doesn't everybody? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]This must not have been on Party or you could have gotten more bets in.

To not reraise preflop with a Granny Mae, now that is a crime against humanity!

jek187,

I owe you a beer (or whatever your beverage of choice is). I was so inspired by your tribute I decided to give it a try for the first time. Thank you, and thanks Granny Mae!
