In poker we often think of the big hands we win as some of the best hands we have ever played. More often than not, it is the big hand that you lay down during a tournament that is the most important decision you made. Mine was in a live tourny at a final table, I had been playing with this person for about 3 hours. He opened the pot for 4x the bb under the gun +1 everyone folds and I call in the BB with 44. The flop comes A 4 7 rainbow and he checks the flop. I put out a bet of half the pot. He raises me. This was the first time I had seen this guy checkraise the whole time I was playing with him, and he didnt raise preflop often. I was 3rd in chip position and he was 2nd. I did not want to play a big pot and turned over my 44 and folded. This put the guy on tilt. he couldnt believe I was able to fold that hand in that spot. I ended up winning the tournament and he was the first to leave the final table.

Best laydown I ever made was my college girlfriend for my now wife. Ya she was hot, but a huge tramp \ sloppy drunk.

Power hath descended forth from Thy hand. Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

I flopped two pair, the guy hit a royal flush on river, and I managed to get away from it
