I hear a lot of great poker stories, as a matter of fact, I posted one awhile back about quad aces losing to a royal flush. I thought it might be neat to have a thread dedicated to online and real-life poker feats. Here's a few recent ones (I eliminated some unimportant details):Hello jrbrooks,You have recently requested your transcript of the game number 632063078.***** Hand History for Game 632063078 *****Seat 1: PokerChip_CR ( $11.40)Seat 2: jrbrooks ( $38.80)Seat 3: RoyDG ( $21.95)Seat 4: mike_mac ( $26.75)Seat 5: eduardoabr ( $37.65)Seat 6: PattiPokerII ( $65.90)Seat 8: Sevush ( $79.02)Seat 9: georgey234 ( $4.50)Seat 10: Chyrs95 ( $23.15)eduardoabr posts small blind (0.25)Sevush posts big blind (0.50)** Dealing down cards **Dealt to jrbrooks [ 9h, 8d ] georgey234 calls (0.50)Chyrs95 calls (0.50)PokerChip_CR calls (0.50)jrbrooks calls (0.50)RoyDG calls (0.50)mike_mac calls (0.50)eduardoabr calls (0.25)Sevush checks.** Dealing Flop ** : [ 2s, 7d, 6c ] PokerChip_CR bets (2)jrbrooks calls (2)RoyDG calls (2)eduardoabr calls (2)Chyrs95 calls (2)** Dealing Turn ** : [ 5d ] eduardoabr bets (6)jrbrooks raises (12) to 12RoyDG calls (12)eduardoabr calls (6)** Dealing River ** : [ Qd ] jrbrooks bets (24.30)jrbrooks is all-In.RoyDG calls (7.45)RoyDG is all-In.eduardoabr calls (23.15)eduardoabr is all-In.Creating Main Pot with $69.35 with RoyDGCreating Side Pot 1 with $31.40 with eduardoabrCreating Side Pot 2 with $1.15 with jrbrooks** Summary **Main Pot: $69.35 | Side Pot 1: $31.40 | Side Pot 2: $1.15 | Rake: $3Board: [ 2s 7d 6c 5d Qd ]jrbrooks balance $101.90, bet $38.80, collected $101.90, net +$63.10 [ 9h 8d ] [ astraight, five to nine -- 9h,8d,7d,6c,5d ]RoyDG balance $0, lost $21.95 [ 6d 6h ] [ three of a kind, sixes -- Qd,7d,6d,6h,6c ]eduardoabr balance $0, lost $37.65 [ 4d 8c ] [ a straight, four to eight --8c,7d,6c,5d,4d ]Basically here I made about $75 when a guy hit trips, another guy hit a lower straight, and I had the nut straight. It was really sweet until the 3rd diamond came.... I was really hoping nobody had runner-runnered me for a flush. Either way I had no intention of laying it down.I have flopped quads twice this week and also folded 2 hands that would have flopped quads. It's been a pretty good week, for sure.Oh yeah, here's the story about the royal flush: http://thewolfweb.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=196545And one last tidbit from the WSOP going on now:From cardplayer.com: If you hang around the tournament area, you'll hear plenty of bad-beat stories. Let's face it, anytime you're knocked out of the World Series of Poker, it feels like a bad beat regardless of the cards. But during Monday's action, Luke Gallagher of San Francisco, California, experienced the mother of all bad beats. Gallagher limped in with pocket fives in a multiway pot, and managed to keep his cool as the flop came 7-5-5 . He checked his quads, there were a few other checks, and a player in late position moved all in with pocket nines, thinking his overpair was good. When Gallagher called and turned over his quads, the other player started gathering his things to leave the table ... only to see the turn and river come 9-9. Gallagher flopped quad fives against a pair, and lost.

I've got a good one. I was dealt A-K, and the flop came up 2-6-K. I made a pretty substantial bet, but the next guy raised it back a lot. I thought for a minute. Judging from the preflop bets and my hand, I thought it was unlikely that he had pocket aces or kings, and I don't think he would've stayed in with a 2-6, 2-K, or 6-K. I knew my ace would be the better kicker, and it would be impossible for someone to have a better pair. So I just had to hope he didn't have pocket 2's or 6's. I thought I'd have the better hand, so I'd better end this before more cards came out. I went all in. He called. Sure enough, he had pocket twos. The turn came a six, giving him a full house. I needed a king or another six. The river brought me a king, giving me the victory with a better full house!

Need I say more...? 'Nuff said.
5/29/2004 1:07:12 AM
Wow David, so you folded potential quads, which would have been beaten by a straight flush. That is some crazy poker....

6/11/2004 2:14:54 PM
I was playing with my friends once and I was pretty short stacked holding a 3/4 in a blind position. The flop comes 3/3/4, with a 3/4 of clubs, giving me a pretty solid boat. I went all in, one guy folds, the other guy calls, asking someone if he should play his hand. When we turn the cards over he's holding a 6/7 clubs. Sure enough, the turn comes and it's a 5 clubs, giving him the straight flush. Needless to say, I was extremely pissed.
6/12/2004 2:38:03 PM
6 hand poker if I remember correct....pre flop I'm big blind. Two folds, 3 calls. I limp with like with a 5/8 off suit. On the flop, mothing comes cept giving me a runner runner straight draw(with a 3/2 same suit as my 5). Check around. Turn comes 6 of my suit. Someone bets....it gets round to me again, I call. Everyone still in. River is the 4 of my suit. I check. All in....all in, goes all in over the top of those two. I'm like...um call. Two flushes and trips beat by my straight flush.

6/13/2004 3:34:59 PM
Yeah, you're right, online poker does suck. Oh wait a sec.... Party Poker wired me $20 to play with for free, which I have turned into $1050 so far. And you have turned $1 into $11.
6/13/2004 3:47:23 PM
How do we get this free $20?
6/13/2004 4:22:20 PM
OK, I lied, it wasn't for free. I initially signed up with $50, played for a few days, and lost it. After losing my $50 I told myself "no more internet gambling" ever. Well, 3 months later I got an email from Party Poker with them asking me to come back. They said they deposited $20 in my account, but I had to play 50 raked hands to get it (or to be able to withdraw it). In other words, i couldn't just go withdraw the money without ever playing. So of course I decided to play, and 3 months later I am up over a grand.
6/13/2004 6:24:08 PM
But if you sign up for a money account and deposit like $50, I can get you an extra $25 for free.
6/13/2004 6:24:51 PM
have u ever tried to take money out yet? i hear that they make it really hard for you to get your money, a lot of id checking and things like that. just curious.
6/13/2004 6:57:12 PM
Actually I did take $700 of it out one time. I told myself that at the very leat, I was gonna come out $700 ahead. Then, they offered a 15% reloading bonus, so I ended up putting it right back in and getting the $100. There are probably 10 or so different ways to deposit/withdraw money from the account. I use a service called NetTeller, which is quite a bit like PayPal. It's really quick and simple, and I have had no problems at all withdrawing or depositing money.
6/13/2004 7:37:39 PM
Never had a problem with them. Thy will deposit directly into you checking/savings account. It will usually show up in 3-5 ddays.
6/14/2004 10:35:40 AM
I don't think I'd want to play where they rake money, unless I thought the other players were bad enough to drive the expected value up.
6/14/2004 3:15:37 PM
how do you know if people are cheating with IM in those rooms?
6/14/2004 3:42:21 PM
6/14/2004 3:44:04 PM
there is always a chance people could cheat together, but it would be really hard to cheat for a period of time. i imagine they have security features which red flag people playing together for extended amounts of time. after that they probaly just have to look at hands and see. with that said, you could probaly get away with it for a few times and not get caught, so if u get unlucky and play those people before they get caught then that would suck.

6/14/2004 10:28:31 PM
I was playing online poker one night, and there were two guys that were consistently getting good hands throughout the night and squaring off against each other. They probably both drew flush draws on 3 or 4 hands and the same guy always had the higher kicker, and won many similar hands. The other guy is obviously getting pretty fed up but keeps playing. Finally, on the last hand, three diamonds were showing (7d, 5d, 8d, don't remember the other cards, but no chance of full house or 4 of a kind) by the time the river came. The guy who lost all night pretty much called hesitantly the whole way through. The guy who had won all night goes all in, and the other guy is like, hell yeah, I'm all in and turns over Ad Kd thinking he has finally won. Then, the guy who had been winning all night turned over the straight flush with 6d and 9d. It was pretty hillarious at the time.
