After Jakepeavy asked me if I'd shared a particular hand with anyone on the forum that occurred in the post-superbowl cash game at the Bash (I hadn't), I decided the sting of the hand had subsided enough to blurt it out, so I did, in another thread.....
Since it's buried on page 2-3 of some bash-related thread in Player's Talk -- and thus most of the poker community would never get to see it, analyze it, or commiserate in my sorrow over it -- I decided to start this thread. Not only for the following reproduction of that hand, but for all SBR'ers to share their best/favorite/most memorable hands while playing poker at the bash, either the sbr trny or their cash game experiences......
Here's "The Hand"..... (not quite as glorious as Dwight Clarke's "The Catch," but you get the point)......
After the superbowl, a bunch of sbr poker sharps hit the poker room for a little $2-5 action......
Cards are dealt, I'm in late position, and after three people come into a hand for $25-30 or so, I announce "this time I'm going to play them right", and raise to $200.... (this statement being an intentional, and not so thinly veiled referrence to laying down jacks a few hands earlier after being re raised by Big Orange holding 10 10 and seeing ttaddy call that reraise-shove by big orange with a call/reraise all in of his own with KK -- I'll let ttaddy tell the rest of that hand's story when he's ready).... (and, as I was the only remaining player in the hand when the action came back around to me after raising and being shoved upon twice, I made the jokin' reference to big orange and ttaddy that they could "shove these fukkers up their asses" and sailed the jacks for both players and the rest of the table to see).....
I felt sending the signal of holding jj again, and generally being on tilt after laying down JJ after raising it to $100, would sucker ak-aten or kk or qq into the hand.... (in a bit of foreshadowing, the sucker I suckered in is one of the luckiest suckers I've ever seen playing SBR Poker).....
So, I'm thrilled when, after big orange lays down his hand, Triple D -- who will probably admit he bought my story of holding lowly jacks again (or perhaps even something lesser but reppin' jacks as a bluff) -- shoves over the top of me with qq, and the other hands fold..... I call for my remaining stack (started the hand with $500-525 if i recall corretly)
figure it's an easy double up of my $500-525 and an extra $80-90 on the folded hands.....
we roll over the Donk's AA vs. TDB's QQ........
FLOP: blank blank blank
TURN: blank
RIVER: MOTHER FUKKIN' QUEEN........
GOOD NIGHT NOW!!!!!

Ps... had to explain to Jose and Sandos why I no-showed at the craps table after having told Jose i'd be joining them in about an hour, after I played another 30-45 mins of cash game, provided that I "didn't run into any trouble and ship it"..... never played craps that night.....
