** High-Stakes HOTW (1/7 - 1/12) **

Please post here your outstanding high-stakes hands for the week of

January 7, 2008 - January 12, 2008

Please limit your posts to genuinely impressive hands. As high-stakes players, you should know what constitutes an impressive hand and what doesn't. In case you're unsure, I'll leave what I put in the low-stakes section as guidelines, but for high-stakes games, this is more flexible:

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 have their posts deleted. Further action will be taken if necessary.

Alright, post away!

raszi's fold is reallllllllly impressive imo

i think it's either




if ur as badass as you are, it's high stakes

nice hands, but I think Raszi hand is a must fold, 6 high flush vs a lot of action from 2 players, not great equity imo.

3/6 is high stakes

normally i'd put this in low stakes but it's a biggish pot and it's vs lyric, so here:
