Here's a humor hand I played against Mason Malmuth in the 30/60 game. It was a little short and a little tight at the time. I'm on the button, a conservative and somewhat unsophisticated player is immediately to my left, and then there's poor Mason who hasn't been there that long in the big blind.

Most of the day I had some heavy resistance in that spot, so I had to tone it down on the steal raises. However, with Mason there, making sane and sensible decisions based on his cards, here was my big chance. All fold to me and I look down and see 64 offsuit. Do I? I do.

The small blind folds, and now it's Mason's turn to be sick of my shit. He three bets. Yah, he's making a stand, but I assume he also has a real hand here.

The flop is K, 6, 2, two spades. I has a pair.

He c-bets. I could fire the semi-automatic raise here, but I decide to call and see what the turn brings. After all, he's getting suspicious of my steals, and I don't think he's folding for one more small bet.

The turn is the 4 of diamonds. Not exactly a scary board. I has two pair, and now I'm just hoping he's got a K or another pair and has to call me down. He bets, I raise.

Please, please, have a king, I'm thinking. But I guess he has something like AJ, because he folds. Or maybe I just look too excited, because that isn't such a scary board, is it? Too bad he wasn't pissed off enough to call the obvious bluff and three-bet that turn instead, ha ha.
