Lucky Breaks

BigChrisEl

Everyone seems to remember when they suffer a real bad beat, but is there a specific hand that you remember that you got a real lucky break on?

For me I was playing a large MTT and was pretty short stacked. I was on the button and had one caller before me. I look down and see a pair of 9's. I decided that this was it and go all-in. The blinds fold and the caller calls my all-in. He has A : Q : , the flop come J : 7 : 4 : , that it's he caught flush off the flop, but then the turn 4 :h: and the river 4 :d:, I get the full house and beat the flush. I then go and make it into the money making a small profit.

Short stacked in middle of NL tourney. I go all-in in middle position with T9 spades, player behind raises all in, BB re-raises all-in. First player shows QQ, other shows AK diamonds. Flop comes J87 spades. I triple up and hang on until the money.

I was at a casino cardroom and had half an hour to kill before a tournament. So I sit down at a 4/8 table and post. Somebody raises while I'm still getting organized, so I call blind. When I look at my cards, I find I've just bet $8 on a mighty J :h: 6 :h: . Ah well, I'm just killing time, and at least they're suited, right?

Flop comes: J :c: 6 :d: 6 :

So, I won my tournament entry fee plus a nice profit on that one hand. Didn't catch anything worth playing before leaving for the tournament (and didn't have much luck in the tournament itself), but I figure I had lost my right to complain about bad cards for at least the rest of the day.

nice flop reminds me of my 72s and flop 772  but ended up losing to 22 who caught the last 2 on the river

So you were playing with a deck with five twos???? Two in his hand two on the board and one in your hand??
