First, let me apologize for my english I know its far from perfect; I really wanted to share this hand with 2+2ers. Please admin, redirect the thread if it's not in the right Discussion.

This hand involves devilfish and Michel (a local at the Aviation Club de France:ACF). It happened a few years ago, but i can still remember it. Its in the middle stage of a omaha tourney, but that's not important, it's just a great poker hand.

Michel is chip leader and in small blind. After a few limpers (Devilfish is one of them), Michel raises pot. Random guy calls as well as devilfish. I cant remember the exact hand that Michel had, but he has an 8 in the hole. Flop comes 823 rainbow. Michel pots. Random guy folds, devilfish calls. Turn J opening straight flush draws. Michel bets again: 2/3 of pot. Devilfish calls again. River is a blank K and Michel bets a bit more than half the pot. After tanking for a while, Devilfish goes for his chips, and Michel sees that. When devilfish starts moving his chips, Michel, knowing he's doomed, shouts something like "All in call!!!" and again "I call!". Devilfish looks at him and said, "wow, wait, I havn't said anything yet". Michel utters "you went all in! Dealer, he said all in! didn't he? I want the floor to come down here immediately". And dvlfish: "my chips never crossed the line!". Floor comes, and after everything is explained to him by dealer and a lot of shouting from Michel, floor of course rules in favor of Devilfish, saying it's his turn to play.
Devilfish tanks for a bit more than one min, and then moves all-in for the rest of his chips (not much more than Michel's bet, something like half his bet more). Michel smiles and apologize for his behaviour: " I'm sorry devilfish, all this was just an act" he says " I can't call you, look, all I have is an 8". He shows his hand and mucks it.
Devilfish " Too bad Michel, you should have called, look, all i got is A high"!!! Michel falls back on his seat, he'll be numb for the next hour. "Thats really poker" he says "That's why I play every day here". He asks devilfish:"how did you do it?" And devilfish ansers that he has seen Michel play here in ACF for years now, and he knew that Michel woudn't do such a mistake.

Each time I think of this hand, I want to play poker. That's great Poker don't you think?

devilfish knows that this guy knows, that devilfish knows that this guy knows.

i remember reading something similar when Puggy Pearson and someone else (i don't remember who) was involved in some cash games hand long time ago.

absolutely awesome

kewl

Leveling wars ITT

it was danny robison, danny bet 7th st. in 7stud an pug pushed his chips in but never released them(that was the rule back before ''the line'' came into play) danny made a motion like he was triumphantly going to flip his cards an pug pulled his chips back there was mayhem an pug won the ruling, only for danny to flip garbage.

Its Omaha what ever u have pot odds or not u don't want to go broke with one pair in omaha rofl

gay

donk play. had odds. iz odd. first post.

v cool, at first I thought it was just going to be ah and where michael somewhat angle shoots devilfish but when I got to the end of the story it was actually pretty good

see, this is real poker, it's live. not that online crap where it's just a matter of luck who wins the hand and where you can't pick up reads/tells from your opponents. let this hand be a lesson to all you wannabe "pokerplayers" like that Dwan kid, THIS is how real poker works and how pro players do it.

you know that that dawn kid won the biggest live pot ever played and was a winner on all episodes he sat down at the highest cashgame there is?
