For those 1-2 readers of mine out there, you will realize what hand is known as "The Randal"*. But just in case some poor schmuck happens to read this, I will define the hand. It is the all-powerfull 6-3. That's right, only slightly better than the hammer (7-2). Well, something really cool happened yesterday while I was trying to clear Titan's bonus. I got the soooooooted Randal in the BB, and about 3 people limped, so I checked. Flop hits 459 rainbow. Kick ass, now I have an openended and a backdoor flush draw. I check and 2-3 of us see the flop. Turn is an Ace and again I check and then it's heads up. River brings a 2. Nice huh? Here's what happens next. I check, he bets, I raise, and he reraises back at me. I then make sure that I actually have the straight, and I cap it. He calls, and I take down a pretty pot.
Two or three orbits later, I again get the Randal sooooooted in the BB. Long story short, I catch a runner-runner straight and take down a small pot because it was checked all the way until the river and I only had 1 caller. Not too shabby of a day for the ole Randal. The hammer has nothing on you.
Keep on keepin on.
* 6-3 became known as "The Randal" as a result of two huuuuuuge pots that were won at my home game with that hand by a friend of mine. Now you know, and knowing's half the battle.
