In honor of ESPN's "The best hand I ever played" I decided to put this on the forum and here some good stories on the best hand you ever played.

The best hand I ever played came around a year ago when I was in a $20+1 SNG tourney which at that time was huge for me. I started out on fire and before I knew it I was chip leader and down to only 4. The next hand gets dealt out and I have A-Q of hearts. I was in the small blind and everyone folded to me so I just limped in calling the bb. He checked it and the flop came Q-10-9 of spades. I wanted to push out his flush draw or straight draw that I though he may have so I bet a quarter of his stack. He called me though and the turn came out 3 of diamonds. I just checked this time and wanted to see what he would do thinkin I still had him beat. He then checks the the turn comes out 4 of diamonds. I then bet again the same amount as after the flop. He raises me all in and I thought to myself for a minute on what to do. I then place him on K-J and that he just slow played it. Sure enough although I folded he shows his cards and its the str8 flush K-J of spades. I didn't put him on the straight flush, but I was right. This may not seam as too hard to lay down but I was commanding chip leader and most would have thrown away alot more to the guy who then would have become leader. Instead I went on to win the tourney and look back on that hand as to why.

I want to hear some great played hands.
