Hi, my names Ryan, I think I am a Donkey. I play suited cards almost anytime I get em, from any position especially if they are connectors. I am super lucky, when I was six I hit the bullseye the first time I ever through a dart, then my first hand in crib was 26 and my first hand in poker was a full house. I like stupid hands, like 5-8 and Q-8. Anyway, I play poker with my friends every saturday, I walk away about even overall (I have a friend named dry_bread on the server who's worse then me mabey). One specific evening, I decided I was going to try a strategy of always playing hearts, so If I had a heart in my "pocket cards" I would play them. So were playing along and I was delt an king hearts and seven of clubs (sevens my lucky
number) I was actually in the second lst position so I played it, Wade, Eddy, Collin and another player I cant remember came in for my RAISE preflop of about 5% of our starting stacks (I pre-flop raise often as part of a strategy). The flop was a 10c, jh, 4h, Wade in first position bet 40 thousand (about 10% of our starting chips) and Eddy thought about it and eventually called him, then collin quickly raised them both to 120 thousand.
The other guy I can' nt remember folded so I went all in knowing my only way out was an ace or two hearts. the other thre players called and revealed a 10s-qs, 8d-9c, and a 10d-4s and me with my Kh-7c. The turn revealed a 9h, so Wade with his 10s-Qs now had an open ended straight and eddy with his 8d-9c had his same open lower open ended straight with a pair of nines, and collins 10d-4s held as two pair. Then the river card was an Ace of Hearts, of course giving me the nut flush don'nt know what the odd's of two suits then two more of the same suit are but you dont see that often. In fact there is probably a better one I could tell but I can'nt remember them all.
Thanx for your time, hope you enjoyed it.

Wow after reading that donkey play I feel I must leave a story of my own to help reduce the sting of his story.
I play alot of poker online on a few different sites but this story came in my game of choice, a live one. I was playing 5-10 limit holdem on the Sun Cruz Casino Boat in Little River South Carolina. I was holding AK of spades and it was my second trip to the Casino Boat. One week earlier I had made my first trip to the Boat with the minimum Buy In of 100 dallars not knowing what to expect and walked out with an insane total of $1150 in only three hours of play! But back my donkey moment. Again I had AK of spades and in a community pot of 9 players two spades fell on the flop. With all sorts of action in front of me as I was on the button I ended up calling capped bets on the flop and turn. A heart fell on the river which just happened to look like a spade as I was wearing a pair of rediculously dark sunglasses. With it checked all the way around I proceded to make a bet of $10 holding "the nuts" and was pleased when the player from 1st position reraised me. We ended up capping and I triumphantly threw down my cards announcing A high Flush!!!! I lost to top set with no flush or straight possible on the board. I never heard the end of it, the worst part is I am only 21 and my nearest competitor in age must have been 55. I have never been called "son" in one day more than I was in those three hours of play.
All beacuse of a rediculous pair of sunglasses. Hope this makes you feel a little better.

Stephen Daniels.... Huhwhat on Bodog and Downhiller of Full Tilt. My absolute shall remain nameless.
