The person who taught me poker has been away since september travellling in SE Asia. When he got back the talk immediately got onto Poker and what we'd both been doing (which annoyed all our non-poker friends).

I also touched on the cult of 7-4. Not massively but just a brief over view.
I went round his last night for some Stars action and he told me he had a hand history he'd saved especially for me. I thought it would be some super swishy bluff he took a pot down with.
It wasn't.
See below the interesting hand I mentioned last night, thought you might

I know this has sort of passed over now, but he liked it so I thought I'd put it on.
