Congratulations. You got very lucky.

They key to playing rags is very specific. I'm sure Rippy would agree. When he posts a hand where his 74o beats another player, he should add at the bottom, "Do not try this at home."

You have to take advantage of a few things.

Position
Stacks
"The gap concept" (basically says that people will play worse hands in ring games than they will in tournaments)
Your table image.
What the action is to you

Then raise.

I know that I have never played a bad hand, like 74o, and called with it. You can't bluff by calling. I also would never consider playing rags in a ring game. It's a lot tougher to catch those trappers with a bluff.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.
