Craziest Hand Ever
My name is cowhead72 at ultimate bet.
I don't usually moan about bad beats but I've had a few lately and as your inviting people to share their beats I thought I'd give you all a taste of what I've come up against lately, AND tell you about the craziest hand I've seen so far in the 3 years of playing at UB.
OK, here's the situation, I don't remember all the details but I'll be as specific as I can relating to the hand in question.
I'm playing the 4.30pm $2 bounty sometime earlier this week, the tournament is running smoothly for me, the field is getting smaller, I've chipped up nice to around 5000 chips without making any tough decisions or putting my stack and tournament life at risk, then this happened: the hand is dealt, utg player with around 400 chips raises all in, the player next to him has around 5000 chips and reraises to 1600, I have been dealt KK, I'm not at all worried about the all in as i have him well covered and i figure that the reraise is a squeeze by the 2nd player with maybe AQ, or a middle pair and doesn't want anyone else in the pot. My thinking now is if I reraise all in I can pick up his dead money (1600) as he has to put me on a huge holding. so I move all in, THEN the player next to me who is short stacked (around 450 chips) moves all in too, (I'm not worried about him either, as if I lose to either of the short stacks then I still make a profit taking the dead money when the player on 5k folds his hand).
If he calls my all in, I'm very happy unless he holds AA and good luck to him but im happy for him to either fold or call.
Everyone else at table folds back to the guy who reraised originally to 1600, with all this action and having only very few chips more than me I'm very surprised when he calls too. The cards flip over the utg guy holds AA (not a problem he shoved for only around 400), the guy next to him with similar stack to me flips JJ (even better for me, I've got him pretty much crushed ), the other short stack guy holds QQ (I'm in dream land now). ok so we got AA,KK,QQ,JJ (crazy i know.) flop comes 10c,8s,4s. not a problem there i have Ks so no flush is gonna beat me. turn brings 7d. still not a problem, JJ guy has a gutshot but cmon? it cant come. river:9d hes made runner runner straight. eliminates all 3 of us, takes 3 bounties in the process and all that with the worst hand going in. I wouldn't have minded so much if he'd made it the traditional way so to speak by hitting a 2 outer J for a set but this was crazy. so i think you will agree that, not just the fact of me being busted that way, but add to the fact the way i was bust and that AA,KK,QQ,and JJ, dealt in the same hand and in 4 consecutive seats has to qualify as being an amazing hand and the sort of thing your looking for, i took a screen shot of the hand as it was so funny, and have attached it to this email for you to see. looking back id say it was worth the $2 entry just to be involved in such a crazy hand.
I hope this is the sort of hand you are looking for and look forward to hearing feedback about what you guys think.
