happy is the best!
hats off to happy, our very own puppet master. he put on quite a clinic at the cash game after the tournament on saturday.
in a very loose aggressive game, he built his stack to several hundred dollars and sent a couple players running from the table screaming maniacally.
at some point he got up to go have a smoke or something and one of the organizers (who shall remain nameless...) sat in to play his stack (i think with happy's permission). well, the stack disappeared very quickly with a big pot against the table anus and when happy got back it was rebuy time. i didn't hear happy utter a discouraging word at all.
in short order, he rebuilt that stack. in one big hand, he told his opponent (who shall also remain nameless...) he had the nuts on the turn and was only raising him 100 because he liked him. well, that opponent didn't believe him and pushed only to see the nuts flipped over. one of my all-time favourite poker moments...
good game happy!

The hand in particular was one for the records to be sure. Still, his opponent did have outs, so I can justify his raise, but the classic move was when Happy said 'I have the nuts so I'm only going to raise you $100 (min raise by the way, the original bet was $100) cause I like you'...Beautiful move!
Adam, you're a very skilled player, but more importantly, you're a great sport and ambassador for the game. You handled everything that day better than anyone else I can possible think of.
That is awsome! We can be our own worst enemies in this game sometime, that is a great play!
K8 MAKE MONEY!!
One of the more classic poker sayings ever spoken.
in fact, i made a couple of 'bad' calls that night on the off chance that i might get to shout it. and of course the 'moneymaker' paid off! much love happy.
