Ode to Brian Wilson

[tikay]

HEALTH WARNING - THIS HAND IS DANGEROUS. Do NOT try it at home, or unless you are a real Pro. Or American.

See what you started Sonny Boy Wilson? They are all at it now. Bring back J-4!

Ok - tonight in the £750 at Luton I played 4 7 - i was bored and thought I would give it a go as I hadn't had a hand for a year or two.....the flop went 2, 7, 5. I bet - he came over the top of me - I put him on A something (but he could have had a pocket pair) and he didn't believe I had anything which is why he came over the top, and I wasn't brave enough to continue .......

Within an hour I got and folded another 4 7 and the flop went 4, 7, 7..........

Moved onto tighty's table and folded 4, 7 only to see a flop of 3,5,6 which was won by a King high........

What are the chances of holding this hand so often after a complete drought of them - and then mucking it up so completely?!  Hmmmm - next time.....

please step away from the table, do not play  until you are positive it will win, you must have the ultimate courage to play the 

I know I did wrong....the lure of the rush, the high of winning on a pants hand, I wanted it sooo bad........I can't control it........I'm having a T shirt printed saying "I have ultimate courage" on the front and "I'm holding 4 7" printed on the back..........I am an addict ......

     I wasn't to convinced about the power of the 7,4 offsuit because the only times I,ve won with this hand is when I've pushed it through on a bluff,

    until last night..

    I was at my sisters home game where nearly every hand goes to showdown,so inventive play is kept at a minimum.I played like a rock most of the evening,premium hands and my big blind when it wasn't raised,then I picked up   I couldn't help but raise with it and got called by my brother in-law in the big blind.

 flop came ...brother in-law bet  I called.

 turn came  ...brother in-law bet I went all-in and he called

 he turns over Ah As..the river was nothing

 I couldn't help but give a little chuckle as raked in the chips as my brother in-law gave me the abuse I probably deserved for playig that hand in the first place..

 but now I BELIEVE

[TightEnd]

you are blessed


I played  last night. I waited patiently for ages and then I looked down ad saw it. Nirvana!

the moment had arrived, I was in the cut off. Two limpers. I raised the pot and sat back looking nonchalant.

Two callers

This was it, I was a disciple of the great Brian Wilson

Down comes the flop

 

After heavy action before it got round to me I folded, meekly.

I'm sure I was too timid, I should have raised all-in!!

 

[Dingdell]

Ah yes Grasshopper - until you truly believe it will never happen. I have meditated and reflected on this hand for days and now the poker gods have decided to reward me with untold riches ($80) .

Your time will come if you are worthy..... or if you are a sucessful

[Dingdell]

I am no longer a true believer - I didn't have enough faith - I have failed the 4 7
