Saw a guy flop 3 Aces, make a straight flush, and lose. Him : Ad Ac Opponent : Kd 6d Board : Ah 5d 3d 4d 2d

I've played strip poker if that counts?

Some friends and I decided to play poker one night and I ran out to the store and picked up a new deck of cards for the occasion. The game was 2-card Guts. (1 dollar bet with 2 dollar raise. Winner takes pot and loser(s) match the pot for next hand. If winner takes 20 dollars and 3 people stay, the 2 losers each put in 20 dollars for the next hand.) There were 8 of us playing and on the first hand, everybody stays! Definitely something wrong here! lol We turned over our cards and saw 5 Aces and only high cards on the table. Turns out that I didn't pay much attention at the store and bought a Pinochle deck to play poker with. Geez! lol

Just recently, I had my first Royal Flush EVER, and I've been playing for about 30 years! I took a $25,000 pot, (no, not real, :-( ).

The hand I got most excited about was one in which I wasn't even playing. The cardroom where I play has a bad beat jackpot that was sitting at over $100,000 - the requirements were to lose with Aces full of tens or better (using both hole cards). I was playing $4-8 limit when we had an interesting hand come up. It was a usual hand, 4 or 5 playes, when the big blind raised, everyone called. Flop - Ks Kh 3h BB bet, fold, fold, button raised, big bling just called. Turn - 7h BB bet - button raised, BB three bet, button called River - 3c BB bet, button raised, BB reraised - etc etc - it went 32 bets on the river! (heads up you can put in as many raises as you want) I was super excited because I, and everyone else thought it was 33 vs KK. The way the bad beat is paid out is that the "loser" gets 50%, the "winner" get 25% and the rest of the table splits 25% - so with 9 players - I was already counting the $3500! However, the big blind didn't have KK - he had K7! What an absolute tool! (the other guy had 33 of course) - ruined my whole day :)

It broke my heart, but it was down to my two sons and myself, last hand they were both betting high and raising like mad little puppies, but their mommy did it and you have heard about tough love right? The hands were all good, full house, flush and 4 of a kind.

4 of a kind. kings with queen kicker. unfortunately i was the other guy with three of a kind. cried into my cornflakes over that one. big pennies bet. The lady was not impressed.

i saw quad 7s with a K on the board and a guy lost because the only other person in the hand had an A.

The most interesting hand was my worst beat ever - I actually refused to play poker for about 18 months. Limit hold 'em in Vegas at the Mirage, and I had been playing for about 10 hours (it was now 6 in the morning). I was the small blind and my hand was As Qc. Of the six other players, 2 had folded and the guy to my right raised. I re-raised, the big blind called, and three other players dropped out (two others called). Four players are in the hand, flop comes out Ac Qd Ad. Big blind bets (I put him on a flush draw), next player calls, player to my right raises , and I call, and so does the big blind and the next player. Next card comes, it's a 3d - Big blind bets (now I put him on the nut flush), next player folds, and guy to my right re-raises . I call, guy to my right re-raises, and calls all around. Next card is a 3h. Big blind bets, guy to my right re-raises, I'm tip the waitress $10 and laugh and re-raise, and we all max out - the pot is now the biggest it's been all night and I have close to $200 or so invested into the hand - which was a lot considering I was staying in a $30 a night hotel. Guy to my left turns over diamond flush, I turn over my boat, and the mongrel to my right turns over pocket 3s. POCKET THREES. He had the nerve to tell me that he played it perfectly, at which point I wanted to slap him - but I was honestly just speechless. I left the table with ~$80, almost 11 hours after I started playing with $100.

Online, play money table, and the table chat landed me a much-needed job interview when I was unemployed. Didn't get the job...but it still made the hand interesting.

I have played quite a few interesting hands that never made it to showdown, but without knowing what people were holding they don't really make for very interesting telling except for to real poker afficionados. However, this one hand come up last Thursday at the tournament game I play in every week and generally do well at. At the 4th blind level (100/200), a table of 10, in middle position with one limper already in the pot, I limp with pocket 2s to try and see a cheap flop and make a set. Two others limp behind me, the small blind calls too and big blind checks, so we are 6 players to the flop. It is a dream flop for me, of 2h 6h 6d, giving me a full house. Even better, the big blind bets out 1000 chips (1200 in the pot prior to this); I don't care what he has, because there is no way my chips aren't all going in the pot at some stage here... however for now I just call, not wanting to scare away any flush draws that may catch their hand and pay me off. It is folded round to the small blind, who shoves all-in for 4900 chips, and he is instantly called by the big blind for the extra 3100 that he possesses. I can't fold this - if I'm against quad 6s then too bad for me, and I expect one of them has a 6 and the other has a really badly played overpair like KK or AA and I am in a huge position to triple up to win a pot of close to 15,000 chips, which would be HALF the chips in play for the whole tournament with what would be 19 people still left in! So I call. Small blind shows 6-10 offsuit, big blind has 6-7 offsuit. Sounds like lousy starting hands, but neither did anything wrong... small blind was getting great odds to call for just 100 into an 1100 pot pre-flop, and big blind didn't put a chip in of his own accord pre-flop. So I am left to dodge a 7 or a 10 with two cards to come. Turn is a 9 (phew!) River is a... 7 (insert rude word here) So the 15000 pot is snatched away from me... I am still alive, taking down a 1300 chip sidepot from the small blind with 6-10, and I'm a little too gutted to talk for the next 15 minutes or so. But it happens, and a few hands later I had stolen some blinds and doubled up once more to have about the same number of chips I had before that hand took place. So no real harm done. Yeah, right!!!! Still, it was pretty interesting; the reaction of other players at the table was funnier, as they were all gasping and wowing gradually louder and louder as the bets increased!

Yes in Vegas, I was playing in a 50 to 100 no limit with minium 5000.00 buy in. I sat down and started with 5000,00 looking around I noticed everyone at the table had 35,000 to 60,000 dollars. I'm first to act, I'm dealt AA, I bet 500.00 dollars and had 4 callers, the flop comes 3,4,5, of diamonds and I do not have any diamonds so I make a value bet of 500 dollars, the guy in 3 seat looks atmy stack and said reraise 5000, and the guy in 4 seat goes 15,000 dollar re-raise everyone drops including myself but the guy in 3 seat and he reraise all in for 35,000. The 4 seat calls, and the guy in 3 seat said I have straight flush, A, 2 diamonds the guy in 4 seat said I have a straight flush 6,7 diamonds and he wins. Because of the high level of no limit there wasn't a bad beat jackpot. the guy loses 35,000 signals the floor pit boss and get another 25,000 and keeps playing like nothing happened. I asked the table what I would have had to bet to get them out and they all said at once , you had only 5000.00 dollars you couldn't get us out... So I left after one hand and went down to a 10, 20 no limit....

Not really involved in the hand. Saw it on the world series of poker. One player goes all in with 4 aces! Pretty confident. But he was beat by a royal flush! Announcers said the odds were something like 2.2 billion to 1 for both of those hands to show up in one hand of Hold-Em. The guy with the 4 aces was quite gracious.
