What's the rarest thing you've ever seen at a live poker table? - Page 2 - Poker Card Room

Couple of things

I got AA three times in a row once.
I got AA, AA, 33, 33 all black in 4 consecutive hands and flopped sets on each and lost all four!

Guy up here is Seattle flopped the spade Royal Flush on 2 cosecutive hands a couple of years back, did not witness but has been verified by others.

I once made quads with a pocket pair and a straight flush using both hole cards in back to back hands.

I've had straight flush-over-straight flush twice, winning one and losing one. And I've only had one other straight flush in all my time playing live poker (and that one actually ended up beating an ace high flush!).

I was at Lucky Chances in the bay area...this was about 3 years ago.

There was an earthquake that was quite strong...the table shook a lot. The next flop came down 666.

Me and the dealer were freaking out...no one else seemed to notice (I think we were the only americans).

Saw a flop of set over set over set last night - Kings, Queens and Eights. 1/2 nl. All 3 went all in on flop. Nothing changed on turn or river.

Saw something similar 3 years ago in Binions - that time middle set hit quads on turn.

Omaha 8.
Flop, two players had set/set/set (ie one had flopped top two sets, other had bottom set).
Turn, bottom set --> quads.
River, top set --> quads. Bottom quads checked and crying call.

saw a guy dressed up as Saint Nick, and everytime he raised or did something, he would throw in peppernuts instead of chips.Tilted the hell out of me and the rest of the table.. Took a while for the floor to give him a warning/penalty

For a friend's bachelor party we rented a table/dealer at a casino to do a 10 man SNG for us. Very first hand was AA -vs- KK -vs- QQ -vs JT on a AKQ flop.

I didn't read the thread, as I don't care about such things, but since some of you seem to care, I'll add mine: Once saw a player, playing in a card room for the first time, make quad Aces twice and a Royal in a 45-minute span (the Royal rivered a guy who had flopped a straight-flush).

He left, broke, an hour later.

Not sure if it counts as rare since I've seen it twice, but I've seen people play every hand blind to the river in a LHE game and then turn over their hand to see if they've won.

$20 buy-in bar game MTT.

Get it in Pre-flop with JJ on a short stack. called by A9. Flop comes J88, which brings a sigh of relief, then heartbreak when turn and river are 8's, and off i walk.

Playing NL last night, table next to me, limit 3/6:

Player A bets the river which looks like: QQ99x (3 diamonds)
As player B is considering calling, player A flips over 1 card which is a Q, showing a full house.
Player B flips over both of his cards which are 2 diamonds, after thinking for a bit he calls with the flush... knowing he is beat.
Player A, does not flip his second card, but instead throws both in the muck and the pot goes to player A.

The only time I have seen a flush beat a full house.

Today at Casino Arizona's 20-40 game: Uber-lag is up 5 racks, drags another big pot and says 'let's make this next one a bonus pot' and tosses $20 dead money into the center. That's a first for me.

Playing before shufflers so same deck for all three hands.

1st hand player to my right wins with Js9s.
2nd hand I fold Js9s.
3rd hand player to my left wins with Js9s.

So three hands in a row the Js9s was in the exact same place in the shuffled deck.

How about this bad beat jackpot.

Players hold 4d5d and 8d9d. Board has 3d6d7d10d.

Players didn't believe it was a jackpot until they started paying.

^^That reminds me, there is this little old lady regular at MGM Grand Detroit that plays loose aggro and straddles. I am fascinated by her and wish to know her entire life story as she may be the only one of her kind in the entire world.
