In roughly one orbit of 10 hands at Ballys in AC, I saw the same guy river a set of Kings and then flop 2 more sets of kings and also flop trip aces. He won each hand and on the 10th hand had pocket Aces cracked by a backdoor straight with like (8 10 off) with no other draw or piece (gutter on the river) after the guy with Aces bet hard pre-flop and the whole hand.
I also saw a guy flop a set of aces in back to back hands (and lose the second one to a backdoor flush after checking the flop...standard) and then flop quad aces less than an hour later.
I was in a hand with K 8 suited and a K 8 suited flopped and two others in the hand also had K 8 suited.
I was in a hand at Showboat in AC and a guy had 9
10
on a flop of 6
7
8
. All the money went in 3 ways and needless to say he was pretty pleased with himself as he was the only one with the straight. He wasn't too pleased for long though as he was drawing stone dead after the turn. How was this possible??? Turn was the 2
giving one of the guys the nut flush and the other guy in the hand had a set of sixes with the 6
and I folded two spades pre-flop including the j
. Brick on river.
Saw a guy play an entire hand blind while not even seated at the table as he was busy cutting some cherry tomatoes that I had brought from my garden. This was at the Hilton in AC when they still had the poker room upstairs. It was like 4 am so the game was a little lax and the dealer let him play it out of his seat. He limped in from the small blind and the flop comes 10 10 3. He says I bet $5 and gets 2 calls. Turn is 9 (rainbow board). He says that had to help me and bets $20. Guy next to act shoves for about $200 and the other guys goes all in as well. Guy cutting tomatoes walks back to his seat and looks at his cards for the first time and say I have to call....I've got the nuts and indeed had 10 9. First shover had A 10 and the other shover had 9 9. Brick on river.
Saw a similar hand at the Hilton where a youngish regular with a bit of drinking problem just took a bad beat and was steaming. He decides to bet $100 in the blind in middle position on the next hand (he still had about $400 left). Old rock sees this and limps in in front of him. The $100 raise stands and old rock calls the $100. Flop is 7 7 J. Old guy checks and tilty drunk bets another $100 and old guy just calls. Turn is brick and it goes check check. River is another brick and tilty guy grabs about another $125 and as he's about to put it in the old guy says I call. Old guy was actually trying to be nice and not take his stack and turns over KK. Tilty guy turns over J 7 for a flopped boat.
