    I freely admit playing this totally bizzarly. I would usually just lead the flop, turn, and river... but it was only my 8th hand at the table, so I figured acting like a donk might be worth something.

    My goal was first: Check/call flop, "fearing a pair", then just act unpredictably. I just shoved when the board made a boat... is that kinda standard when you hope the guy is hoping for a split...

    Oh man you're right.... I am not even thinking about the pain I am in if an A or K turns.

    Now you'll have to excuse me I must go back to donating chips to people who
    "can't possibly have a 6"
