Everyone goes on about their bad beats etc all the time, so I wanted to start a thread where people tell stories of their favourite hands - hands you had no right to be in, but won large sums of money from... that kind of thing.
...I'll go first
£1/£2 live cash game with approx £500 in front of me. UTG limps, UTG+1 limps and 2 others limp. Im on the button with Q3o and for some reason decide to raise to £20. dont ask me why, I guess I felt like "punishing the limpers"... anyway, 2 callers.
Flop was 9 high rainbow - I bricked it. both limpers check and I bet around 2/3 pot and get a 1 caller
turn is a 3...so I now have 1 pair, but probably still not good. again I bet 2/3 pot after being checked to and the villain calls
you can guess what the river was...another 3 and the the villain shoves for about another £300...
I say "your not going to like this", call, and flipped my cards over. he looks disgusted, mucks and leaves. oops.
Every now and then i remember this hand and it makes me chuckle...
lol, no, not related... possibly brushed past him and temporarily caught some of his"runlikegod". It was at DTD and I think thewy was playing a £300 deepstack or something...
playing live 5 left (in the money) big stack chip leader limps i'm on button with <10 bigs and see KJ - worried about the limper but hey-ho need to gamble sometime and ship them in folds to the big stack who tanks he then announces to the others "you're probably not going to like this but i think i can find a better spot" and mucks face up his AK phew Posted by GELDY
lol... saw a similar hand in a live tourney at MK casino...3 handed (final table). SB shoves into the BB (pretty standard).
The BB mucks AK face up saying "I think you have a pair". lol
I think my favourite hand i ever played was in a low stakes cash game.
For some completely unknown reason i like the hand 84. Well in this hand got dealt 8s4s otb. Folded round to me so i raise it up. call from the sb. Flop T 8 4 so 2 pair perfect i fire out and get called. Turn another 4 again i fire out and get called. River J and my opponent shoves on me, i snap call and he shows KK.
Probably my most redic one, I open with QTdd on a cash table. 100bb deep. BB peels, and donks a Ad xx flop. Anyways he donks for like 2bb so i call on a float. Turn Jd. Well i aint going anywhere he checks, i bet he calls. River Kd he leads for half stack i shove, turns out he flopped like bottom set, obv i hit the most insane runners ever
This was quite a while ago but easy to find. I probably only found this funny because it was at NL4. If this had cost more than a couple of quid, I might have found it less amusing:

I'm sure Donttelmum didn't find it amusing when he lost a hand on a similar basis the other day He has QQ and the board ends up KKKxK, and he has to fold to the A high shove. others, however, may have laughed. (not me, honest guv)
Hand at the DTD last year in the side event to the main. I wasn't feeling too good and was playing tighter then normal, something like 1 hand in 4 levels or so. Am in mid position and look down to see AK. It's folded to me and I 3x. The bloke to my left calls as does the bb. Flop comes A82 rainbow, happy days. BB checks and I lead for about 3/4 pot. Bloke to my left thinks and calls as does the BB. Turn K, happier days. BB checks again and I have a swift glance at the stack sizes and see they both cover me. I bet about 3/4 pot again leving me with about a pot size bet back if I get one caller. Bloke to my left thinks for a couple of mins and I say "I've only one move left on the river if you call" I then lean back in my chair. He calls and BB folds. I lean back in my chair obscuring my view of the river card as I am in position 1. As soon as the dealer turns the river I announce all in and oppo stands and shouts YES and shows 88. I lean forward and see the river is another K and turn my cards over with a shrug and say unlucky mate
lost a big hand in a 2.30 buy in BH tourney which left me with 640 chips with blinds around the 50 / 100 mark. dealt 53 off but as the saying goes any 2 will do so pushed anyway and got two callers.
flop came down with 5 3 so hit two pair, blank on the turn and hit a river 5 so hit the boat. went on to take six heads and finished in the top 20 so a nice little win for me.
This happened earlier this year. Im multitabling playing 4nl.
Im in the BB with 9d4h and with one limper its checked to me. Having no interest in the pot i check and look away.
Flop comes 7d10dKc. I check ready to fold instead its checked.
Turn 6d. Not really looking and again ready to fold its checked and so do I.
River 8d. For first few secounds I dont realise Ive backed my way into a straight flush and laughing to myself thinking this is going no where I bet 6p into a 14p pot. To my astonsihment the limper shoves allin for almost £7 and I cover him and cant call quick enough. The guy had nut flush after limping with Ad3d. So, a nice £13 pot slides my way knowing I would have folded at any point to any bet!

No names, gazza!!! That is the first rule of posting a hand history!!! You could be giving away people's moves, man! Shame on you.
I was value raising. Max value.
