In the Sunday morning 10:00 tournament at the Moose, I was holding QJ clubs. The blinds were 25-25. There were about 3 limpers and no raises before me so I made it 100 to go. The big blind raised to 350. One of the limpers called, two folded and I called because I felt I had a reasonable hand to play. It was early in the tournament. I could get away from it fairly cheaply if I didn't hit. I also had position being last to act.
Right between the time I called and the time the flop hit the board, my opponent in the big blind says, "I sure hope there are no sevens or deuces on the board." This is because everyone knows that 7-2 is my favorite hand and I win with it frequently. He should have kept his mouth shut.
The flop was 7-2-something (don't remember). He rolls his eyes and checks. The other player checks. I smile and bet 625. He looks at me and thinks for about 30 seconds. He folds A-K face up and says "I knew you were playing that garbage." The other player folds and I win. I did not show my cards. I absolutely wanted him to think I had 7-2. It was super fun to win with it when I didn't even have it. LOL.
Lesson to be applied - pretty easy to figure out - keep your mouth shut during the play of a hand. You really do give your opponents way too much information. I'm sure glad he did!

Almost as good as beating your 7/2 with 2/10
