Brag: Zybomb...

[Talking Poker]

Tonight sucked donkey balls. Coolers, lost races, bad timing, sub-optimal play (that's putting it gently) and then a couple more coolers just for fun... surprisingly, I don't think I was sucked out on too much.

Anyhoo, here are two of the few hands that kept me sane.... unconverted for no particular reason.

Seriously, ball busting aside - what do people think of how I played hand #2? I don't think I could have extracted any more money if I played it any differently (I was planning on check raising the flop, btw), and at the same time, I think this this line is good for pot control with a probably-good-would-like-to-show-this-down hand like this.
