Very friendly home game with the best of friends, I play higher stakes and have a good understanding of poker in general. My friends really do not. Swings in this game for me can go from -3BI to +10 or smth. Just background.
We play pretty funny poker as blind raises and just seeing the flop comes along very often, about 4 hands in we are all at 15-20€. Then the UTG at our table goes loco and says 3€ blind raise "cmon guys lets do it" this and that. The rest of us all agreed after a bit of laughs. Flop arrives and is 2-3-4, nobody had looked at their cards and there was 15€ in the pot already. First to act, SB glances at his cards and announces All-in. We are pretty surprised ofcourse, i look at my cards and see A-5, im thinking.. Ship it. So I tank a bit and declare I'm all in aswell, 40€ pot atm. The guy next to me just casually says "i'm all in aswell", and the guy who had the idea of betting so much in the dark folds. The last guy to act is looking at me in shock and says, "are you serious? I'm all in too". 4guys all in after a blind raise, 60€ pot approx. The cards get flipped over. SB tuns over QQ, i flip over A-5, the guy next to me 5-6 and the last one to act also A-5, so me and him were dead to a chop. Turn is another 4 and the river a Q. We're all just shocked about this. The set up is so sick though. I just had to get this off my chest ha.
What are the odds..
Had an amazing home game after that hand. I'm just still wondering how that happens.

Apparently the odds were 100%.

Obiviously the guy in the SB was James Bond. He runs good.

To answer the 'how it happens,' here are the odds of winning the hand on the flop:

6/5: Win 82.32%
Tie 14.27%

A/5: Win 0.0%
Tie 14.27%

Q/Q: Win 3.41%
Tie 0.37%

On the turn, a tie for the straights goes down to 7.5% and a win for Q/Q goes to 10% (no chance of a tie).

The SB obviously fixed the deck...

Strange things happen sometimes. Get over it and move on.

I want to know how many hands he would have to play for this to happen? And, most importantly, has he actually played that many hands? Otherwise, I call BS.

Seriously, crazy hand. Thanks for sharing. Ignore the trollish responses, whichever they are.

Who shuffled the cards? Who cut the cards?

UGT proposed the blind bet - but he folded and lost his money.
The dealer looks like he lost money too.
The small blind's flop bet with QQ seems proper. He didn't deal or propose the preflop blind bet. I have a hard time seeing how he cheated without help (unless the SB shuffled and/or cut the deck and even then it would take some skills to get the stacked deck into the game.)
All the other bets make obvious sense.

<shrug> I guess it looks ok even if the results were exceptionally unlikely.

The fact that we go completely out of our way to raise it so hard preflop blind and that flop with everybody elses holdings is just crazy for me. I guess you don't think the same, I just thought that was sick, even though I know it happens from time to time.

People report crazy hands all the time here. You don't have to explain. This one qualifies.

We have a buddy of ours who comes to deal, he's just there to drink some beers and chat it up with us but he doesnt play. And he isnt capable of cheating, he barely knows the rules. Definately legit hand...

I love that the last guy to act with A5 gave action here.

I doubt anyone was cheating. This is an unlikely scenario, but not outside the realm of reason or anything.

At my home game on Wednesday night tournament we had aces cracked by a straight twice, by the same guy, both with the A on the river. It was insane.

First time the villian called an all in with KJ (he is ultra-loose) and I joked that he could still beat the AA with a staight and it would be funny if the river was an A. Flop is XQX then comes a 10 and a river on the A.

Later on that night, same player called another all-in with KQ and was against AA again. Again he hit the straight on the river with an A.

Hands I've witnessed in my home game off the top of my head:

1. Guy got dealt AA 3 times in a row (he showed all 3, didn't get cracked once)
2. Same guy loses with the Nut flush to a straight flush 2 weeks in a row
3. 2 guys get it all-in on the flop with the nut straight. Everyone says it's a chop but I point out one has a backdoor flush so he's freerolling. As I'm saying this the turn/river comes perfect/perfect like on que

So basically, this sounds completely legit, perfectly in the realm of normal for friendly home games.

You just got suckered into a setup deck. Thanks for playing though.
