Weirdest thing I've seen in poker...

Home tournament at a buddy's place last night, four of us left with roughly even stacks ($2000), blinds at 200/400, I was on the BB and dealt A :s: T :s: . Folded around to the SB who limps, I raise to $800, SB goes all in, I call.

He flips over 55 and I show my ATs. The dealer goes to flip over the flop cards and his face goes white. He took a few seconds to flip the cards over while he stared at them with disbelief. He drops them one at a time. A :d: A :h: A :c: . The room just lit up with laughter, so after laughing for a bit we flip over the turn, K :h: and the river K :d: . Aces full of kings on the board... So yeah, that's the most unusual thing I've ever seen in poker. Anyone have a similar story? :P

    First hand in a 5 player SnG satellite for Jour de Poker 1, three players found themselves all-in on the turn, all three having made Broadway! The river brought the Jc and turned one player's straight into a Royal Flush! That was kinda neat.

    Yes! I had a KQs win against 99 in a recent tournament. A race situation, and the overcards won the pot!!

    ;)

    Okay, Bizzare-O World occurances.

    1. I once saw A2345 on board, all spades, and the dealer put the cards up in that exact order. Yes, someone had the 6s.

    2. Board 6666A. Three way action on the river. Action goes check, bet, fold, call.

    3. Very first live B&M session I even played. I folded 72o pre-flop. Flop comes 777. Betting was capped every betting round. Turn J. River J. Pocket Aces loses the pot to JJ.

    4. Mirage 3-6 HE. Board has 3 hearts, board is not paired, but a straught flush is possible. Two-handed on the river, so there is no cap. Betting goes to about 7 or 8 bets. One player had the Ace-high flush, the other the straight flush. The SF believes that the action has finished, and shows his cards face up several inches in front of him. Dealer pauses, and says "6 to call" to the SF player. There is a long pause. Everyone at the table except the Ace-high flush notices what is going on. SF finally clues in and slams one hand down over his face up cards. SF then raises. They end up going about 20 bets before the Ace-high flush finally calls. The Ace-high flush looks quite confused when the SF player finally raises his hand off the table, revealing the winning hand face up beneath.

    In a big online tourney I was in, I had KK. Raised and got 2 callers. Flop was A K rag. First player, raised, I moved all-in, third folded. First player showed A-K. Turn was rag. River was A. Lost with K's over A's to A's over K.

    I also once saw a board come Q K Q K K. 4 of a kind K's beat 4 of a kind Q's. (I wasn' in this hand).

    Weirdest play was probably an A-high flush beaten by straight flush (at Zithal's a few weeks ago). Weird part wasn't the cards, it was that neither player involved got all the chips in (each only committed half their chips), even though straight flush was last to act.

    Hows them apples..... NOTE:  ONLINE POKER IS RIGGED LOL
  • ScottyZScottyZ
    Not only did I get AA back to Back...

    Oh yeah, reminds me of another one.

    I was once dealt exactly the red Aces two hands in a row in a B&M game. Luckily it was not too suspicious since I had to fold the first time when the board came down 9s Ts Js.

    Brother in law and I are sitting around at home watching the hockey game (must of been a while ago) in between periods we decide to play a little heads up. We're at his house so no chips, we each grab a mitt full of change from the jar and start playing. About five or six hands in I'm dealt QX and the board comes QQQ brother in law bets I raise he comes back all in and of course I call and he asks how big's the full house? I respond no and flip over my Q. His face gets all screwed up and he looks like he's seen a ghost and then I understand why. He flips over his Q. Yes indeed 5 queens in play. I now count every single time I play to make sure there's only 52.

    This past Sunday in Brantford I held AcAd on a flop of AhKh2s, the Turn was the 2h which I thought was perfect giving me aces full and putting the flush out. The river brought the 2c, which made the fella in seat five quad 2's. He had played J2s all the way to the end despite making bottom pair on the flop with no flush draw, an AK showing, and tons of action in front of him. In a lucky sense the game was only 2-5 so I didn't lose a ton.

    I was playing in Brantford a few months ago and got heads up with this lady. I had just paid her off in the previous hand and was waiting to blow the rest of my load on her. Everytime I had the goods, she had the nuts. It was the craziest thing ever. Anyway, we're heads up and I'm feeling a big pair from her but I know if I play my cards right I may be able to get some good action and take her down. We go back and forth for a bit until I make a bold move and remove my protector, it wasn't my turn to act. She stares at me with a blank look and gets out of the car taking the rest of my load with her.

    This wasn't really weird, just very very stupid. I was in this hand with one opponent who had no idea what he was doing. I had something like AK or AQ, but the board was all rags, so I was just trying to bluff him out because I didn;t think he had much either. We make it to the showdown, after producing a big pot, while I show my A high, he shows a straight draw (3456 I believe it was). After reaching for the pot, I get contested by this guy saying he has a "low straight," and that it beats my ace high. All five guys there agreed with him, saying that they saw on a bicycle instruction card that this is in fact a hand which beats high card. Since everyone was on his side, I had no choice but to give up the pot. I later discovered that what they all saw on the exaple card was "23467," which I think is the best hand in the "low" part of a High-Low game?

    This happened three weeks ago and i'm still not over it.

    In a qualifier for the WSOP on Fulltilt. $100 Satelite final table and I'm sitting with a decent stack. Top three get seats.... There is 7 left at the table when this happens.

    I'm on the button....

    ME: Pocket 7's
    Two callers as I limp in...

    Flop
    8 77

    I'm thinking how do I milk these two for a shitload of chips when this happens.

    UTG goes all in with a bigger stack then me.... I'm thinking he has either an 8 or a high pair

    I'm loving this... So I call...

    I flip over my quad's assuming to see something pretty decent.... He flips over 8's which isnt that bad unless...

    The 8 hits on the river and i finish in 6th. The guy that got me on the bad beat became the chip leader and finished 2nd for a seat.

    The most frustrating hand i was ever in...
    I'm playing a $10 B&M SNG with some friends, in the BB w/ K-4 off. 3 people including the small blind limp in and i check. flop comes K-4-6. SB checks, I check (aggressive player to my left) and he bets out. Other 2 fold and I'm short stacked with about 2x what he raised, so i push it in. he calls and flips over K-5. Turn is a deuce, no change, and river is a six. Nobody, including me, had realized ehat happened until i reached for the pot. My K's and 4's became K's and 6's with a four, while his K's became K's and 6's with a 5. Brutal way to go out.
  • BigChrisElBigChrisEl
    Playing $50 SnG on party poker, 4 players left including me, top 3 pay, I have about 1600 in chips and I'm in the small blind. Blinds are crazy high at 400-800. Every one playing super tight waiting for some one else to go out, so everyone folds around to me I have AK :s: , so I decide to try and take down the blinds here and fire all in expecting the BB to fold. BB with about 1700 Calls my all in. Cards flip and he has AA, so I'm thinking I'm dead right there.

    Flop comes K, 9, K, I jump for joy at the most amazing flop I have ever caught. Turn is a 2, Final card is of course the last Ace in the deck, and with that my SnG was over.

    So I went from a huge dog pre-flop, to almost a sure thing after flop, to being killed on the river.

    ...and fire all in expecting the BB to fold.

    ?

    Unless there was some reason I thought the opponent was away from his computer, I would expect an unknown opponent in the BB to call with any two cards getting 3 to 1 from the pot and having no reason to think you have a real hand in the SB.

    A stop-and-go play (AKA hunting foxes in the dark) is worth considering here against a typical opponent.1 However, if you have any reason to suspect that the BB might (incorrectly) fold pre-flop, go ahead and shove in right away with the AKs. If you are going so far as to expect that this particular opponent will conceed his BB when offered the whopping 3-1 pot odds, move all-in with any 2 cards yourself.

    The truly weird thing is that the way the board came down, there is one and only one possible hand that beats you. In a situation where your opponent should call your bet with 100% of his hands, that's a little rough that he had the unique winner.

    1With any 2 cards, by the way.

    that's a little rough that he had the unique winner

    Who'd have thunk a 92% preflop favourite would actually hold up! (when the chips actually went in) :) I know what you're saying though. Waiting for the inevitable follow up post of how big a dog the AA was post-flop...

    Well 2 reason I thought he would fold....first is that he was folding to any bet when he was BB unless he had a monster and the second is that I had a super tight table image always showing monsters when I went in. In this game I worked my stack back to 1600 from about 300 earlier, so I couldn't see him risking his chips on Ace, Rag or low suited connectors, only one hand that hand me worried and he had it.

    Got ya beat...

     Playing in a Freeroll, and had just taken some fella for quite a bit of his stack, leaving him with only about 400 bucks left when the blinds were 75-150.  He goes all in, and I have 7-8 suited, so I call.  He flips over 4-4.  Not too bad.. about 50/50, so I'm not too upset...  

      FLOP :   K-5-K <rainbow>
     
       Okay.. not too shabby, he's got 2 pair, I still need a 7 or 8

     TURN:  K

      Okay... still not too bad, just need a 7 or 8 to beat his full house.

     RIVER:  K

       Sweet... my hand:  KKKK8, his KKKK5... I win, he's outta the tournament.
