raising with garbage definitely works if you can let your hand go postflop, but I think the real interesting thing is he called with a 6-2?

Once I saw the flop with a lot of limpers and a small blind. I had 5-8. I flopped the nut straight. I had a raiser and we ended up going all in. He had hooks and tried to slow play them. He was pissed.

Later that same day, I called in early position with 5-8 (it had been good for me earlier) and I flopped two pair and turned a full house.

This was about a month ago. I only recently stopped playing 5-8 because it hasn't treated me as well. Yet I'm always noticing when I see the flop come Q-5-8 or 4-6-7.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

LOL, that line reads hillarious, why do we have lucky cards? You ever notice that once you think two cards are lucky they start losing you money ?

I'm giving up on lucky cards, I'm finding you call more than you usually would with them because they are your lucky cards
Poker is all about the long long long long long long long term . . .
