Weirdest Hands

[billy the punter]

Some of you guys may have read this as it's on another forum apparently, a mate just emailed me this.... This story from the 2+2 poker forum... the thread is 'Most absurd Poker thinking you've seen' This has gotta be WAYYYY up there. 1/2 NL game in Tunica, MS. Don't remember the exact action, but a big pot brews preflop 3 ways. Player A announces 'all in'. Player B says 'call' and they flip up their hands, revealing AA and KK. Problem: action is still on Player C, B announced out of turn. Dealer tells C it's his action and he is sitting and pondering, much to the bewilderment of everyone else. Finally he says 'gotta call. gotta' and calls, revealing the other two KK. AA wins a giant pot and of course someone asks him "What in the FK were you thinking?" and he says "hey, what am I gonna do, fold KINGS? :eek Obviously we don't know if this is true, but we've all seen enough weird plays to suggest it probably is. I've seen too many to mention but one sticks in my mind... Was at the Vic and was sitting in the daytime £1/£2 PLHE game. I won't remember the exact amounts per raise but they were something similar, I know it was heads up after the flop so it won't be far out. I make it £7 with Td9d, two callers. Flop Qs Jc 3s I bet £21, folder, caller. Turn comes Qs Jc 3s 4c I bet £60, he calls. Rivers comes Qs Jc 3s 4c 7h I bet the pot again was around £190 at this stage, he had about half that left. He sais something like "well I've gone with it all the way, I gotta call now". And he does, with Ts9s. We split the pot. This is what you're dealing with. With mugs like this around there aren't many games around where you can play skillfully anymore.

Re: Weirdest Hands Playing in the Wynn LV the other day, six limpers into a $1 / $3 NLHE game when the guy in the BB (just joined) raises $5 into a $18 pot. Everyone calls. He bets $5 on the flop again almost everyone calls. Turn card he bets $10 everyone calls. River he bets $10 most people call. Pot is almost $200 and he flips over AA to take it. Very next hand I flop a set and he flops the nut flush after six people limp in. He bets $10 on every street and of course everyone calls because nobody believes he flopped the nuts (except me who prays for the board to pair). My set of fours dont improve and shows the nut flush for another $200 pot. Later in the day he folds a flopped set of Kings to heat from a guy with AA on the river having already put over half his stack in the middle. At this point he left and so did I.
