Not very often. I saw a guy with pocket aces and aces full jacks lose to the guy with pocket jacks. It happens, but not enough to worry about.

If both your hands are face up, then running 7s come (2/45)(1/44) = 2/1980 = 1/990.

Seems like it happens more often than it does. I remember losing to runner runner quads a few times. I had 55 and the flop, turn, river was 244,5,5. Player with 44 was pissed.

I had AJ - J4J,K,K and I lost to K4. **** happens.

Good luck.

Craziness.

True but fun to talk about. LHE 6/12 I have AJs UTG and raise. Get a couple of callers. flop is AJJ. I bet get called, turn is blank I bet and get raised by AA.

What I worry about is should I bet this river OOP with my one pair.

Last edited by rodeo; 02-24-2012 at 11:52 AM. Reason: it's ok though because i got him back with AK on AK5A3 vs. his A3.

3/6 and 6/12 same. 6/12. I have 88 cold call. Flop 86K, he bets I raise, turn A, he bets I raise, he calls, river K, he bets, I call. Ouch, but, I was okay with it, he sucked out. I won a lot of Skansky bucks. **** happens. Next time I flop a set to his TPTK he will give me his money.

6/12 we had two mini-BBJP in less than 2 hours on my table.

55 vs K7 - 55KKK and 44 vs 55 44655

**** happens. I won $225 twice.

That is how these games play. But, most of the time you need to worry about the usual stuff.

Remember perfect perfect is 1-990. Standard is on your best days your best hands win more often than not.

That is what is important.

Unless you grind mass volume online, it probably won't happen to you again in 2012.

Craziness.

I'm confused, where's the 1/990 craziness warranting BBJP? QQ is ahead pf, on flop, on turn.....Q on river changed nothing. Or did he have AQ, not QQ (edit: in which case that would be much less than 1/990 craziness)?

Is that not a crazy hand? It could have been 887,QQ. There are only two cards left in the deck was my point, and I won $$$$.

Yeah maybe I don't understand.

Several hands over the years goes something like this: I flop a set or trips and a guy gets running quads, or I flop a FH and the guy gets a running bigger FH.

I thought that was what the OP was saying.

I don't think there is a lot of strategy here, more like a bad beat thread. Head over to the LC thread for that stuff -- whole thread dedicated to it.
