Where is my Hammer?
It has been two or three days since my last Hammer - plenty of 7-2, 8-3, 6-3 and other off-suit action, but no Hammer. I had a 7-2 of hearts but, as we all know, suitedness might inadvertently win you a pot. We can't have that now, can we?

Ladies, gentlemen - that's how you play the hammer. Welcome to the river - come on it, the water's great.
Addendum: That hand in the very early stages won the entire tournament for me. It doubled me up and made me chip leader which allowed me to bet harder and recover from calls quicker. I went on to win the whole thing with a full house after calling a short-stack all-in with 9-7 off-suit and flopping two pair, then catching a 3rd 9 at the turn. Let this be a lesson - don't fear the reaper. Fear the hammer.

What a way to go ...
What a nice way to finish a Saturday's poker playing. The last three people got there with three hands of pocket kings in a row, myself included, which decimated the table, taking out at least one other person each hand. Two of us flopped sets to seal the deal. And then, just to cement a great final table of outstanding play with good cards ... this.

Emily Post would be ashamed ...
We all have hands that suck out. We all have hands that are sucked out on. It's part of life.
However, when you go all-in after the flop with pocket 9s, see pocket kings across the table and manage to river a straight to win, the proper response to "good game" is not "you suck." That's bad behavior and poor manners.
Just a lesson learned from another suck out.
