It'd be funny if he weren't even deaf.

why is it that deaf people are always such *******s?

I wake up one Monday morning around 8am at the Borgata, head over to the poker room and I see one 2/5 (100bb) game with probably 15k on the table. Orange and purple chips are all over the table and this is quite unusual for a game here. Dealer approaches me shaking his head like how I could have missed this, floorman tells me seat 2 (a young male late 20's with a heavy Eastern European accent) is in for something like 12k and they have to cut him off because he has a foreign ID. This guy is hammered, shipping in stacks almost every hand, having a blast, standing up during his all ins like he's sweating a roulette spin. By the time I get sat he's on his last buy in, and a beautiful young Spanish girl (accompanied by a very large brawny man who seemed to be the guys friend) comes over to sit by his side, sweating him, they make out a little bit, I'm informed this is the second Spanish girl this has happened with during his session, he hands her a black chip at some point. Every time this guy wins a pot the dealer gets a green chip. Any and all white chips that come across his path go to the dealer as well, as he pleads "no white chips" and throws them right back any time they are pushed to him . One of the oldest regs in the casino was sitting to his right and said, he had never seen anything like it in his life.

Years ago while playing a limit Omaha 8 tourny at Foxwoods and older gentleman had just won a large pot. As he rakes it in he fell out of his chair having a heart attack. One of his table mates was a doctor(what are the odds) who helped until an ambulance arrived. Thankfully he survived. Tourny was shut down for a good while.

last nigh in our local tourney (30ish players) saw at least 4 flopped Quads and one flopped royal, with another 3 quads winning.
I happened to be on the winning and losing end of quads. Flopped Quad Jacks and got maximum value when the guy turned broadway.
Then jammed on the final table with A8 into AQ...flop QQQ!

Just played the craziest game a couple of nights ago... it started off a 1/3 game but then people started blind raising and blind reraising and it ended up a $1/$3/$6/$12/$24/$48 game. The buyin was $100-$300 and no one had more than a $1500 stack, so people were stacking off every second hand. Some other crazy **** went down like 2 players would make a deal that "if it folds to us we'll both open shove without looking at our cards?" And we had a few hands where everyone on the table put in $20 blind and we all checked it down to the river.

Most entertaining table I've ever been on. I also made a nice 4 figure profit

Here is a pic of the preflop blind raises (faces blurred out for privacy):

Wow I'm really relieved the tournament eventually resumed.

I can't imagine wanting to play after that.

About a month ago, I was just getting to Fallsview and paramedics are rushing past me on my way in. Some guy had a seizure mid hand and fell out of his chair.

That table broke right as they were wheeling him out, all the players were like "how could we keep playing after that"

Ive seen 2 heart attacks in the poker room, including one where his lungs filled with blood and he coughed it out. They did shut the room down that day.

1/2 NL

Heads up pot with $10 raise and one call from the blind (both have about $500)
Flop come KsKdQs
Action is check check
Turn Js

Blind checks, initial raiser bet $20, blind raises to $80, initial re-raises to $200.

Blind goes in the tank, and declares all in. Initial raiser seems baffled. Blind tells initial raiser not to call and shows his hand, and the table is equally baffled

Initial raiser flops a boat, blind turns a royal flush.

Initial raiser is the blinds father, and no on new.

They've been playing for months, and quite ruthlessly against each other.

I kind of hate telling this story because most people either don't get how rare it is and thus aren't impressed by it, or they do get how rare it is and probably just assume I'm exaggerating (if not outright fabricating the whole thing). So at the risk of being unimpressive, or thought a liar...

The poker game was breaking up, and someone had an odd 25 cent chip and didn't want to cash out change, so he asked if anyone would high card him for it. He got a taker, and won. So now he has 2 extra 25 cent chips, and asks to high card again so (win or lose) he'll end up with a whole dollar amount. He wins again. Someone says something like "bet you can't win 3 in a row" and so just for fun he goes again and wins again. Now its sort of entertaining, so we keep it going. He wins like this, doubling his money, 8 times in a row (+$32) before deciding to bank $22 but still offers to high card again if anyone wants for $10. He gets action again and again and wins another 8 times (+$80) before he calls it quits.

So he won 16 consecutive games of high card, walking away with $112 profit, all off of a quarter that initially he just wanted to even up so the banker didn't have to make change.

Even though it was all just microstakes shenanigans, it was unbelievable to witness.

$5-500 Spread-Limit Hold 'Em

Indian Businessman straddles for $10
I get dealt 54o UTG and fold
Other players fold until
Old Asian Man in HJ (~$650) makes it $20
LAGish Young Guy (~$600) flats in the CO
Indian Businessman (~$1200 stack) makes it $100 to go

Flop is 234hh [pot: ~$315]

Indian Business man snap announces "All in"

Dealer notifies him that it's spread limit, so his bet will be $500

Old Asian Man tanks a couple minutes while counting his chips.. and says "call"

LAGish Young Guy insta reships his stack

Indian Business Man snapcalls

Old Asian Man mutters to himself, "well I can't fold now..."

Turn: Ad

River: 7c

The three players stall while looking at each other

LAGish Young Guy flips up KhQh, "K high"

Old Asian Man squints for a couple seconds, and mucks his hand

Indian Business Man stands up and slams down his hand, "PAIR OF SEVENS!" showing Qs7s

First time seeing 2nd pair win a three-way all-in.. and wishing that I hadn't mucked 54o preflop

Playing in a room yesterday with a room high hand of the hour promotion with maybe 20 tables running. Guy next to me at my table gets quad aces with about 20 minutes left in the hour, and it's holding up as the clock counts down. Clock hits 0:00, and the floor announces that the current hand will be the last one to qualify for this hour. Guy who had the quad aces is getting all excited, and I jokingly say "No way, man. Somebody's going to beat you on this hand. Steel wheel. Spades. Just you watch."

No more than 15 seconds later, a dealer calls from another table across the room "High hand on table 12!" It was A2345. Of spades.

Not that rare. It happened to me before with 88 vs A10 vs A10 on a A108 board all in on the flop. A on the turn

Was a +700 pot at 1/2...

Reminds me of one I had a couple years ago. J7HH limp In mid position in a 1-2 game. Raise to 15 and I fold. 5 minutes to go in the 2 hour high hand for $300. Flop is 8910HH. Bet, raise, blah blah....hand ends up with 2 full houses and about a $1,200 pot. Oh, and would have had the high hand with the Jack high Straight flush. That was hard to swallow!

maybe not the "rarest" but hand wise, but this last weekend had an interesting one come up:

3 players limp in; flop comes 7,8,9 rainbow. bet, call, re-raise, call, call. turn comes a blank but adds a paired suit on the board: we get a raise, re-raise, re-re-raise, all-in, all-in and then call. All 3 players turn over JT no double suit, so split 3 way pot with everyone showing down same hand.

Last night saw guy lose the nut flush vs a straight flush. I think last time I even saw a straight flush in a live game was like 5 years ago.

All in preflop three ways on a 1/2 table.

I had AKcc vs A9o and QQ

Flop comes... A,10,2... and the dealer accidently turned a 4th card on the flop!

The floor reshuffled the deck and I missed my Ace for a pot of 450.... FML

Three way to flop with KJ, flop 9TQ bet raise ai, call call, they both have QT, board runs out KJ I cry

A few years ago at Rockingham Park NH, in very large MTT, guy flips over backwards and is dead on concrete floor. My wife starts CPR and call for the paddles. They got an emergency di fib in a pack..... In front of 500 people that have formed a circle around them, she shocks the guy 2 times...the guy literally goes airborne both times. And just like that... His heart is beating again, the emts wheel him away and the guy survives... People are cheering, management bought her drinks and put her in the next event. The defibrillator shocking was... Shocking. You see it on TV, but.... Wtf... The guy went airborne !!!!

I didn't read through all of this thread so if something similar was posted I apologize. Playing in a 10/20 limit game 10 years ago I saw a pot get 4 bet pre flop and 5 see the flop. Flop was JJJ. Bet and 4 calls. Turn A. Bet and 4 calls. River J. Checks all around. Everyone turns over and the aggressor had AA and had to chop with QQ, TT, and two KQ. He got up and left immediately

Playing 1/3 the other night at a pretty passive table. 2 limpers to me on the button, and I raise with QJ. One caller - a limper in middle position.

Flop:

AKT

I lost the hand.

Hi everyone! First time poster, long time lurker though! Playing no limit. I was dealt pocket 33. It was 7$ raise preflop. Four players called. The flop was 134, rainbow. I went all in. For players called. One had ace four, the other ace eight, the third one had two five. Some times later the same scenario. Pocket 33, flopped a set, lost to Twp five on a 123 flop rainbow. The feeling was in describable.

Sorry, the second time the flop was again 134, lost to two five.

Did they blind him out of the tourney? Jk
