Preflop - I'm sorry, I can't let all these limpers in for free from the BB when my hand contains the almighty ACE OF SPADES! There is an assload of dead money in the pot, its time to narrow down the field and see who wants to go to war. Granted I risk creating a big pot OOP, but I'm fine with that, my cards are sooted and I have an Ace.

Frop - Dream frop. Let's get this party started. The button unexpectedly repops me and commits a HEALTHY portion of his stack to the pot. It doesn't look like I have ANY fold equity here, I need to figure out his range here. Button definitely looks like a donk (dude how can you LIMP the button, that sounds off alarm bells right there!) from what I can tell. It really does not feel like he has a set, I'm thinking KQo or 45. I have good equity against both - ARR IN!!!

Turn - Button sucks out with a pair!

River - Ship the RESUCK!!! Note I didn't even need make my spade frush, just the fact that I held two spades in my hand PF gave me the power to win this pot. WOOT!
