Few examples
Never posted any hand histories (HH's) before so I figure this is a good time to do so. These hands all come from UB .5/1 NLHE ring games over the last few days. I'll include some of my thought process from each hand...

This hand I say to myself on the turn "I really hope he has AK and not AA or AK." This is an example of a sick beat and being happy he didn't have a deeper stack.

I call a standard raise from the BB with 89s. I flop the bottom end of the straight. I have no reason to believe I'm beat and I'm really hoping to trap JJ or better here. The turn gives me a flush draw so I'm done "giving people free chances to beat me" (except I'm not ahead). I make my flush on the river and crack the flopped nut straight. This is a classic example of not slowplaying your hand. I probably can't get away on the turn, but he definetely needs to protect his hand on every street because AK can go down easily there.

I limp and call a raise with KQoff in position. Obviously I'm lucky to flop the nuts but my play isn't what I want to highlight. This is a terrible board for AA. I raise the pot and he still calls on the flop and pushes on the turn. You need to be able to lay down big pairs, especially on a connected/suited board like this.

Just to prove I can lay down KK. Here is a pretty clear case of AA in my opinion. The guy said "nice laydown :)" so I may have missed my mark but I still feel 100% comfortable with the fold. I think I saved myself $91 more.
Might start playing on PokerShare soon for 100% up to $300 bonus and some rakeback. Bobby needs to start posting in his blog more.
