It’s been a long time since my last Hand Discussion, partly because I haven’t been playing much the past few months due to nearly crushing levels of overall busyness. So I figured it was about time for a good old discussion, and I found an interesting hand from the message board that I thought would [...]

A couple of days ago I posted a relatively routine no-limit hand for discussion. I say it’s routine not because it isn’t important, but because it’s the type of situation that arises regularly. For reference, here’s the original hand.

I’ve been playing a lot of 6-max $0.25-$0.50 and $0.50-$1 on Full Tilt for the past few months, and I’ve already played dozens and dozens of noteworthy hands. I’m saving most of my interesting hands for analysis in the second volume of Professional No-Limit Hold ‘em

I played an interesting hand last week that I felt could have been approached in a number of ways. To refresh your memory, here’s the story so far:
