Rocking hammers to beat down cancer …

It’s been some time since we put a true Hammer post up. Since I was semi-short-stacked in a freeroll and needing to go, I pushed with The Hammer and had a caller. You can guess what happened next:

As we all know, The Hammer was clearly a dominating favorite in this hand before the flop. That ace might as well have been an anchor.

Remember - you must commit to The Hammer in order to experience flops like this. By committing, I mean all-in. The Hammer rewards those who dedicate themselves to it.

For the record, two hands later, I was knocked out by the player who lost this hand. They rivered a flush holding 5h-2c to crack my K-J suited and the pocket aces of the player who called my all-in re-raise. Go figure.
