You should use the following guidelines as minimum qualifiers: 1. You make a very deep, bold bluff on a hand that gets to the river. The pot size should be large, at least 50bb's, and your bluff should be very daring (such as bluffing over a third barrel on a scary board). 2. You win or lose a pot worth at least 5 buy-ins (500bb). IF THIS IS THE CASE, POSTING A BAD BEAT/SUCKOUT IS ALLOWED. 3. You make a sick read and call down a large amount of money over multiple streets with a very marginal hand, like third pair for 60bb over three streets. !!! DO NOT POST ANY BAD BEATS OR SUCKOUTS !!! Those who post worthless hands or random suckouts will be warned and their posts will be deleted, and if such action continues, further action will be taken. I have made a separate HOTW section for low-stakes players so that you can have a time to shine. If this thread is violated, I will remove this section of the bulletin and only allow high-stakes players to have a HOTW. Alright, post away! <font color="Red">Reminder: don't be an idiot. Follow the guidelines above, seriously.</font>

i like the hand above

Not really *that* interesting. Postflop after the cbet you can't fold anyway having like 40% against an overpair.
