hmmm... i hit one online shortly after i started playing. left me wondering what the big deal is??? and never since.
live, i've never had one but i've seen at least one, maybe two.
straight flushes - many online and a few live. including one online where i won with straight flush over straight flush. too sweet! and live against mario which is twice as sweet.
i've hit 3 in my poker carreer... i hit one playing on booya yesterday holding Jd3d... hit one about a month ago on stars holind ThJh... and the first one i ever hit was on stars hold AsKs that was a long time ago... never live though, still waiting for that one. oh if we're counting omaha... well i've hit like 3 or 4 playing omaha
since we're talking omaha, is it harder to hit it in omaha? on the one hand i'd think, yes, since you have to use 2 cards but on the other, no, since you've got more cards to work with. ???
This was the most amazing restraint I have ever seen. On the river before checking he actually typed that he had quads but felt the guy had a royal. I can't imagine having to check down quads.

Wow. That is one of the worst played hands I have ever seen. Checking down quads is horrible. The only thing worse would be checking down a royal flush, and there it is.
I've had maybe 3 on line and 1 live. Seen another 3 or so live. With the funniest being at Brantford where buddy with the As 2s gets no action on the board of Ts Qs Js Ks..... then shows the As. And MDS you can show smiley's etc still see:blob"
Ya I don't get what the RF was doing but once there is 4 to the SF, it becomes difficult to bet your quads. But the guy actually put his opponent on a Royal in the chat window, before he checked. I think the Quads was lucky the 9H fell on the river, bringing the SF into play.
I think it goes back to what BBCZ was saying in the other thread about your opponents not being able to see your cards. The guy flopped the RF and kept checking, figuring he had the deck crippled and tried to let the other guy 'catch up', never figuring that if he bet at any point, he might actually get a call.
If you have a RF, it is hard to imagine your opponent has quads. With 4 to the SF on the board and a PF raise, not likely his opponent had a 7 high flush or an 8H for the low SF. Hard to imagine many hands, except the quads, calling a river bet here. Still I think he had to try a small bet.
I have not had one in like 8 months online after having 2 in a span of 3 weeks, 1 on PS the other on AP. But got beat by a royal last week in a game had AQclubs pushed pre flop, guy called with QJ spades as a short stack. Flop As Ks Jc turned the royal with 10s.

Live at Beanie's. Does he even have tournies anymore?
Also live at Bristol - Does Omaha count?
live, i've never had one but i've seen at least one, maybe two.

The one at Blue Heron was the best, I had a guy betting into me after I flopped it. :-)
Why can't we do bold/italic/smilies anymore?
