Hand of the day

Meh. Only quads?

There's a lot of that going around these days...
This hand is especially satisfying because opponent drew 3 and hit a boat.
The odds of that are 97:1 against.
Drawing 1 to trips and hitting quads? 47:1 against

I have been trying out different tactics in the NL game after watching some of the masters.

This is the first time I tried drawing quads though

...but it is a strange one...
We're quite a way from the bubble, and I get a walk with 1.02BB in my stack.
I went on to cash

Wow, and I thought my hand was sick, where I was wondering the same thing about a 3-card draw along these lines...

Yeah I saw that, and I replied before seeing this.

The Best of 12 Outs

The additional gutshot gave my flush draw 12 outs instead of 9. Not sure if that made my predraw call justifiable, but on the plus side, it will be Hand of the Day if I do hit the best out.

Is that the famous "pretend to be a spewtard" technique?
