I wasnt even involved in this hand.....but since I have seen some skepticism about unlikely situations online and live I thought I would share it.

2/5 NL (200 max buy in) table. 9 players.


My buddy is on the button with about 160 in chips and he is JUST STEAMING from a bad beat. He has QQ. UTG +1 is the biggest stack at the table and he is a complete donk. CO is a solid player and he has about 160 as well.

Big stack raises pre flop to 25. CO just calls. (A very odd call as you will see.) My buddy on the button has been getting beaten on by the big stack and pushes all-in with his QQ for about 160 total. Big stack instantly calls. CO calls even faster!

Turn em up boys....

My buddy: QQ Big stack: KK CO: AA

Bad push by my friend until.......

Flop comes : Q, 6, 3 rainbow!


Turn: 8

River: 5.



Pretty damn crazy. My buddy is normally a very solid player but he made some serious mistakes that day and got horseshoe in the a$$ lucky.

Later on, he pushed all-in with pocket tens against a wild player only to find himself facing pocket aces again. Flop that time: j109. No help for the aces on the turn or river.

Sometimes, it is better to be lucky than good.

Welcome to poker.

Suck-outs don't only happen online.

2/5 NL (200 max buy in) table

That a typo? Who will play at a table with only 40BB buyin?

its a 200max/min buy in. Crazy ass game.

My local casiono has a 1/2NL game with 100 min/max buy in, and when they do seat 2/5 its a 200 min/max buy in.

I make a ton of money in those games. Over the last month, I am averaging 52 dollars an at the live games.

I made this point last time I posted about playing at the bellagio. Some idiot actually told me the blind structure was irrelavant in a cash game!!

I agree sitting with 40BB sucks but the games were full of suckers so it was ok. Not ideal, but ok.
