I was playing on ignition in the 1-2 zoom. My stack was 500 something and snagged pocket aces under the gun. I decided to limp hoping for a raise. Of course the cutoff makes it 7 and the small blind calls. Back to me and I re raise to 18. Now this should set of alarm bells to the other players but to my surprise the initial raiser jams all in for 200 and the small blind calls for 190. I put my hands together and pray for a clean run out then click call. Cards flip over and I'm up against KK in the cut off and QQ in the small blind. Needless to say the mighty aces hold and I give a solid fist pump to the air.

Good memes = good thread

and BBV is kinda barren desert of threads. Would be better if op lost the hand, and was all whingy about it, but it will have to do.

Maybe we should start several “The joy of..” threads?

My first thought, “The joy of flopping broadway in Omaha”

Pretty sure Rob and Craggoo gimmicks back in the day have covered that before. Something original is best

So, what you are saying is that if you had raised pre you would have had the exact same result.
