Sick for the dealer to have quads and trips. I bet everyone at the table kicked themselves for not banking. The highest had I've seen is a royal

I've seen five aces and a pair -- that's tough to beat. Most full house hands would at least push this one.

Re: whats the biggest hand you have seen in paigow?

Sickest beat I had was a $600 hand.

I got dealt K high flush and AA.
Dealer got dealt A high flush and AA.(obv they had joker)

It was soul crushing. It was like the 7th or 8th hand I had lost in a row, which made it worse.

You're right. Some of the hands I've lost -- hands I would have bet the ranch on -- are more remarkable than the best hands I've seen.

Ouch. I had a $300 wager and got dealt AA55556. I pushed. 3 pair for dealer with aces up top. Also had KK56789 and dealer had AA8910JQ. Brutal. No hand is safe in that game. So many "can't lose" hands have lost. Still fun to play.

Re: whats the biggest hand you have seen in paigow?

I was playing paigow with Mat and Kiera at Red Rock during the summer and got dealt the 7 card straight flush with a joker. I did not have the $1 jackpot bonus bet because it was only at $58k.

Re: whats the biggest hand you have seen in paigow?

I was dealt an 8 card straight flush in Fortune Pai Gow with the bonus bet

yes, not 7 cards, but 8 cards. The first 7 cards were a Jack high seven card straight flush, and the 8th card was the Queen

this is made even more amazing because I got the above without a joker

I also had the bonus bet maxed out with a $25 chip and would have won $100K (which was the casinos max limit)

Unfortunately, the 8th card voided my hand, the machine had been having problems misdealing all day...

But instead of $100K they gave me two weeks worth of buffets and 4 nights worth of room comps...

yeah... so much better than $100K....

I had the worst hand possible and made $100. 9 high with 87 top. $100 bonus for having 9 high, and the dealer had something that gave them a 7 high top. Best push ever.

Must learn to palm cards. Must learn to throw cards.

A card on the floor that completed the deck would at least give you the benefit of the doubt -- your opponent was dealing.

Re: whats the biggest hand you have seen in paigow?

I won a $400 hand with a K high paigow this past weekend. K9XXX and JT vs K8XXX and J9.

It was pretty fun.

Re: whats the biggest hand you have seen in paigow?

Last time I played Pai Gow I was red-chipping at a table full of people playing like $500 a hand with $50 on the bonus bet. Got an 8 high straight flush high with a KK low and everyone got their $20 Envy Bonus. I swear they were almost ready to hoist me on their shoulders and parade me around over the $20.

One time I was at a table, a guy on a whim plays the dealer just to try it. Pulled a joker royal with 6s.

I didn't think a 7 high Pai Gow possible unless you had a straight on the bottom?

You could have the lowest top, 3-2, with a straight or flush on the bottom.
