The Opposite of Bad Beats....

[kurto]

(WARNING... LOW CONTENT. Just something that made me smile)

May I start by saying I thought no one was going to pay me. I was dealt pocket aces three times within my first 12 hands, made the standard raise and everyone folded. I didn't think anyone was going to pay me off on anything tonight.

I know these are straight forward, but they were so fun. I played these hands on 2 different tables within 2 minutes of each other. We all experience bad beats, so it was such a nice change of pace to make 2 major hits in a row.

There's no real issues with these.

HAND 2

I have decided to loosen up. I dont always play 10-Js out of position, but the table limped so much, I HAD NO CHOICE!
