| Would love to hear 'em. My favorite is when I was playing nl hold 'em tourney and held 2-4 o.s. I wanted to try to steal the blinds so of course I raised with my absolute garbage. Blinds were 25-50 and I made it 200 to go. Surprisingly I got three(!) callers who apparently were tired of me stealing (or had playable hands). I felt a little sick over my failed attempt. And then the flop came 2-2-4, with two spades. LOL. I checked, the button put in about 75 and everyone smooth called his bet. The turn came. A SPADE. Checked again to the button who went ALL IN. I took my own sweet time. I asked for a chip count. I talked a little bit. "You got some HIGH spades?" I made a lot of pained noises. Exhaling. Looking at my hole cards. I would've gotten a freakin' Oscar. Finally I called. The other two had folded and we were heads up. He had ace king spades. Nut flush. "That's nice," I muttered as I showed him my full house. I think the cat had his tongue. "It was supposed to be a bluff," I said apologetically. He knocked the table. "The bluff didn't work." Man, I love poker. | ||

| unlike what appears to be the norm i dont remember hands i lose much i remember the ones where i got lucky. my all time best was playing 3-6 12+ years ago im BB and have 10c 8C, it was a wild and wooly crowd tons of raising, flop comes J-9-7 all clubs, *how many times do you flop the absolute stone nuts on the flop in your life?* now whats so funny about this hand is i never got to put in a raise, everyone else was capping it for me, turn brought the Q of clubs and more of the same and the river brought the K of clubs i have a 7 card straight flush i bust 2 or 3 other players on the hand *chips on 36!* and not once did i get to raise *was betting out of course* | ||

| The best flop I ever was involved in was 3 handed, myself vs. to full out maniacs. Between these two maniacs they have added approx. $1000 to the table's wealth in the last 2 hours, they raise and re-raise each other heads up and then showdown bottom pair or A-high over and over. I'm in the blind in the 2 seat while their at the other end of the table in the 9 & 10 seat. I picked up pocket 10's and called their pre-flop cap (which in CO is a bet and 5 raises at $5 a piece.) They didn't have any idea I was still in the hand, they were firing chips at each other and talking trash back and forth. The dealer never clued them in that I was still in the hand, she just raked my chips quickly and brought the flop. Flop comes AK10. They cap it and I never raise, only call. Turn is a 10. They start talking trash about full houses and questioning why the other is in the hand, they still don't see me. River is a blank (cannot really remember or care at this point.) They cap it once again and when the dealer says to show they both have boats...A's full and K's full (their first real hands in 2 hours.) I slowly and deliberatley say nice hands guys. They look up and see me holding the other two 10's, one in each hand facing them....It hit them, I had the winner. I stacked a huge pot and they called for more chips...Best hand I have ever won with. | ||

| I may be wrong, but the way you wrote your post, you said "the other two had folded". If the other 2 had already folded, what the heck were you waiting for...as you're about to show your hand anyway. It's not as dramatic as you want it to be with nobody else in the hand. p.s. I love that hand though. I called a multiway pot with 2-4 once and hit the wheel on the turn. Paid handsomely. | ||
