Playing 1-2 live, ten handed. It is midway through the session. This time we are playing at my house - A/C, flushing toilet, platters of yummy snacks and drinks. The Outpost chips are in play. The table mood is goofy fun. Some folks are here to donk off some bucks.
Cast of characters:
Hero is in MP with about $500. Life has been sweet this session. While there have been some bumps on the road, things are going well.
Crazy is the big blind with $350. His night has gone OK. Crazy is a slight winner coming into the hand having waged war against his arch rival and winning more than losing. He is in full throated roar. Loud enough my wife has stuck her head in to see what is going on.
The hand:
Winning LAG opens for $7. Calling station calls $7. Hero has black aces,
and makes it $25 to go. Crazy, Winning LAG and Calling station call. $101 in the pot, four way action.
Flop

Three checks to Hero, who bets $75. Crazy calls, all else fold. $251 in the pot, heads up. $250 effective stacks.
Turn: <
> 
Crazy checks, Hero bets $175, crazy calls. $601 in the pot, $75 left to bet.
River <

Crazy goes into his happy dance, hollering "sucker fish!" and jams in his last $75. Hero snap calls with second nuts. Crazy tables
for bottom set and hero's top set wins the hand.
Action on Hero. Does he stack the ones first? Or the fives? Or does he fish out the handful of twenty-five dollar chips first? Anyone just make a mound of mixed chips?

PS See?! Not every strategy hand goes hinky for Hero. Maybe not as many interesting decisions though.
