Just had this hand in a tournament on pokerstars, in the 100,000s of hands I've played I've not seen anything quite like this!

Poker Stars $11+$1 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t300/t600 Blinds + t50 - 8 players

SB: t9080 M = 6.98
BB: t5935 M = 4.57
UTG: t1840 M = 1.42
UTG+1: t12965 M = 9.97
Hero (MP1): t4894 M = 3.76
MP2: t6755 M = 5.20
CO: t9798 M = 7.54
BTN: t10250 M = 7.88

Pre Flop: (t1300) Hero is MP1 with A:heart: A:spade:
UTG raises to t1790 all in, 1 fold, Hero raises to t4844 all in, MP2 raises to t6705 all in, CO raises to t9748 all in, 3 folds

Flop: (t21344) 5:diamond: Q:club: 7:spade: (4 players - 4 are all in)

Turn: (t21344) 3:diamond: (4 players - 4 are all in)

River: (t21344) J:club: (4 players - 4 are all in)

Final Pot: t21344
UTG shows A:diamond: A:club: (a pair of Aces)
Hero shows A:heart: A:spade: (a pair of Aces)
MP2 shows K:spade: K:club: (a pair of Kings)
CO shows K:diamond: K:heart: (a pair of Kings)
MP2 wins t1861
CO wins t1861
Hero wins t9162
UTG wins t4230
Hero wins t4230

Edit: Sorry the conversion looks awful it's geared towards a different forum.

Wow, you'll probably never see that again. Had a few cold decks myself, AA vs KK vs QQ vs JJ was unreal, i was holding KK, QQ won it.
 
In a house game with a VERY old pack of cards (i.e. well shuffled), there was AA v KK v QQ. All went all in pre-flop :D
 
Very nice sir. Haven't played many MTTs myself lately but came in the top 400 in the full tilt double deuce - $20+2 buy in, $200,000 GTD pool. 10,700 entered and it took 5 hours to get to there, took $75 for it but qualified for $2 through a super sat. First prize was $44,000 :eek:

Nice work, my best result is splitting top 3 in the pokerstars $10 rebuy (70k guaranteed). $30 worth of buyins for $12,012 :)

I haven't had "big wins" but had a few nice results - couple of top 3's in turbo rebuys for $300/$350 a piece. I need to get playing again, I might give pokerstars a go because I've never played there.
 
I started playing again today, put £80 into Ladbrokes, after 3 hours of playing I've got £194.41 ;)

Biggest pot was for $155:

Dealt 10-10, UTG raises to $2, I re-raise to $7 he calls.

10-9-2 rainbow flop. He bets $5.50, I call

7 turn, he bets $12, I raise to $39, he pushes for a bit more and I call.

River 5, he shows.. 8-9. :confused::D
 
That sucks :(

I had a tricky one earlier but held my nerve to take it.

Dealt AA on the SB, playing .25/.50 NL, 6-handed.

UTG raises to $1, call, call, call, i re-raise to $5.50, call, fold, call, call.

4 players to flop:

K-9-4. I bet $12, 2 called.

Q turn (by now I'm thinking I'm probably beat, 2 flush draws, a straight draw or someone has a set), but it's checked to me so I push for my last $34 and they both fold, and tell me they had 8-8, and 10-10.

I genuinely thought for a long time about folding but they looked pretty weak from those plays.
 
I know the rules (sort of) in poker, but for somebody who doesn't, what on earth does all the blurb in the first post mean?

I get that the hands dealt out were freaky together..
