in What’s your most memorable hand? on Empty Pockets
One of my most memorable and enjoyable hands happened actually this week.. I have been playing for about 2 years now. Half of my poker time is spent at live games and the other half at home on full-tilt.. I was at home on the 3/6 NL and had Ad10d and raised to 16 pre-flop.. Flop Jd 7d 5d!! Stone cold nuts.. I check he bets 30 and I smooth call. Turn comes Ah.. I bet 30 into a pot of about 100 to make it look like im scared.. He immediately raises me to 75.. Hes got about 200 back and I wanted to raise to make him pot-committed for my shove on the river so I raise him to 125. He calls. River didnt do anything no diamond didnt pair the board, I shove for the rest of his chips and he calls with As7s.. He had 2 pair on the turn and i played him like a fiddle, One of the hands that i believe I played to perfection..

in Lesson One: You are not as good as you think (Part 1) on Empty Pockets
I shove all of my chips in the pot.. Forget what the other players have, even if your beat, if you think positive (or you are asian) you will have no problem sucking out. Hope this helps.
