The pros tell the story behind the hands

You're probably thinking why these pros are associated with these particular hands. The answer is because these pros share a certain bond with these hands in one way or another. Let's see what each pro had to say about the hand:

	nanonoko is famous for his monster multi-tabling skills, passion for video games and love for the Jackson Five. He chose Jc5c as his favourite hand and exclaimed, "Jackson Five baby!" In 2009 Randy 'nanonoko' Lew made his mark as one of online poker’s top pro cash game players by exceeding the $1 million mark for his winnings. He has hit Supernova Elite status on PokerStars every year from 2007 through 2010 by 24-tabling 6-Max No Limit Hold’em cash games.
	"I remember this hand from the early days of my poker experience; I was chasing a diamond draw and when I missed, the old schooler bet and I folded my hand face-up in frustration. There were a couple snickers at the table, but before I realized why, the old-timer had chopped the stack of red chips in the pot and given me half. Turns out my ten made a straight, but I had just missed it because I was so fixated on the diamonds." Shane 'shaniac' Schleger has a number of live tournament winnings under his belt, including a 4th place finish in the 2007 Bellagio Cup Main Event worth $232,490.
	"My 'road hand' is 4d7d, A road hand is, essentially, a bad hand that you develop a superstitious or emotional attachment to and then start to assign greater value to as the night progresses, indicating it may be time to hit the road. That being said, over the years 4d7d has morphed from being a 'road hand' to being a favorite of mine to turn over and reveal that my range of hands can be wider than you think!!" Canadian Adrienne 'talonchic' Rowsome had top-100 cashes in WSOP Omaha events in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and has final tabled the Women’s Sunday event three times.
