I've never managed the super coveted triple check-raise.  The double check-raise I've nailed a cpl times, and it's extra nice when it happens without a showdown.  I got this hand in yesterday against one of the TAG regs on Stars.  He has two particular weaknesses that makes this a good play.  He folds a lot to check-raises on the flop, and he floats the turn way too much.  Without those reads I'm not sure this would be the best way to play the hand, but here it worked out very nicely  ;-)

His third weakness is that he calls flop+turn too light and folds river too tight, so if the board had bricked off here I could probably have barreled off profitably.  It helps to know player tendencies and make careful notes  ;-)

As played I'm a bit curious as to his turn plan, where he's potting the flush card and then folding $16.5 into a $96 pot.  It would obviously be even cooler if I'd just had the flush blocker, but that's a bit too sick in this spot even for me.
