Just wondering if it would be possible for us to get a sort of "list" going of WA/WB situations. I'll start it off...

There was a PFR and it's heads-up to the flop:

Hero has KK/QQ
Flop - A83 rainbow (or something similar)

Hero has AQ
Flop - Q88 rainbow (or something similar)
Villain leads for psb (pot-sized bet)

PFR came from a very tight player in early position (He usually only raises AA-QQ, maybe JJ)
Hero has AK
Flop - AQJ rainbow
Villain leads for 3/4 pot

Anyone else care to contribute? I think if this got going good enough it could be a very useful sticky.

Lukie is on a distinguished road
 you raise KK preflop, get reraised behind, you call, flop comes rags, 3-toned.

Really you can think of a ton of examples where you are unsure of your opponent's hand strength in which you are a huge favorite or huge dog.

I don't like this example a whole lot because we are splitting with AK sometimes.

On a sidenote, hero should fold preflop. My favoritest advice everrrrrrrrrr.

Its the worst feeling in poker, pushing all your chips in SURE you are way ahead and then watching them slide over the table!

This guy was put in the WA/WB situation by me last night. I was check, calling turn because I was in it first :P .....

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($24.35)
Hero ($128.15)
BB ($12.35)
UTG ($54.95)
MP ($45.70)
CO ($50)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6, T. CO posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG calls $0.50, 1 fold, CO (poster) checks, 1 fold, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($2) 9, T, T (4 players)
Hero bets $1, BB folds, UTG raises to $2.5, CO calls $2.50, Hero calls $1.50.

Turn: ($9.50) 2 (3 players)

River: ($9.50) 6 (3 players)
Hero bets $3, UTG folds, CO raises to $6, Hero raises to $13, CO raises to $41, Hero raises to $79, CO calls $6 (All-In).

Final Pot: $135.50

Results in white below:
Hero has 6c Td (full house, tens full of sixes).
CO has 5h Ah (flush, ace high).
Outcome: Hero wins $135.50.

And here is a hand where a tightish player came back at me when table had tightened up ($1.5 was normally getting heads up or 2 players) and I was either wayyyyy ahead or probably pretty much drawing dead, I decided discretion to be the better part of valour.....

CO ($47)

Final Pot: $26.25

Results in white below:

Weak fold some may say but it's all read dependant in these situations, once you know how someone plays certain hands you can get more creative. Earlier same session another AA hand and I'd been watching this guy play TPGK's for a while....
