PokerStars Hand of the Day

Congrats to Iggy for cashing in Main Event.
Apologies about forgetting to mention yesterday the longest running feud amongst bloogers:

Blinders v Hoy. The 1st conflict predates my entry into blogging, but have seen them argue over play of hands, hammer and what constitutes cheating.
If any old timers have a longer running feud let me know?

RiverStars strikes again, the JJ taking down the side pot is a nice touch.

Am I really to believe players on Bodog are worse than players on RiverStars?

I managed to exit 25k and 3r to river suckouts as well.

I have managed to exit Turbo Fiddy 3 times in the last week losing to a K-rag that called a jam so maybe I have to learn to play it like it is a monster.

I've still yet to venture over to BoDog, but I've always been under the impression that Pokerstars had by far the worst players on average than any other site I've played at. I consistently am amazed at the donkery witnessed there, and these are two great examples of incompetent play.

Have a good weekend Bayne.

Duggles vs Waffles? Although I think ours lacks the pure spite that Blinders vs Hoyazo has. Comparing the two based on time alone though I think we win hands down.
