ok these poker posts might become a thing that happens more often now ... mainly cuz the last two days i've been playing partypoker and have won $150.

now, i know i admonished parker HEAVILY for bragging about one huge hand he had. mainly cuz i thought it was bad form. but now i've won a huge hand and i'm experiencing the rush he had, as that was one of his first huge online hands and this is one of my first huge online hands.

the point is, i'll try to make this minimal, and maybe in the future i'll show more hands that i play poorly instead of hands i play well, because those should be more open to being yelled at by people.

anyways, my monster hand follows - we'll call it niv's poker hand #1 (in case i make a series out of this, once a week or something).
