So, we're playing a friendly game of hold'em. I get delt K/9 off suit. We both check to the flop. Then all the fun and adventure begins. The following is the flop, turn, and river of that hand.

Its getting late, ok?

I had a Royal Flush one time at the bar.

My buddy has been beaten TWICE with a straight flush to a Royal. Both times, he had the 9 of the suit and the 10-K was on the board and someone had the Ace.

His flush beat the straight.

ETA: A couple weeks ago, the only other guy remaining at the table went all in on what turned out to be a straight, while I was going for a full house that I ended up getting on the river. Luckily, the river also gave me a flush. That hand kicked ass and I won everything.

Great flush....nothing that amazing about it.

If you look at thousands of hands you will see several Royal Flushes.

I have had one on the board in Vegas before.

Keep playing.

I once turned a straight flush off of a 7,9 hearts against both ace and king high flushes with no pairs on the board in a live $100 limit game, and kept my head enough to bring the poor souls along.

THAT was amazing!

well, the amazing thing is there are 2 different straights in the pocket, and a third straight on the board, and the flush on the river wins it. That would be why it's amazing.

I got a Royal Flush, natural, during a 5 card draw game, and I wasn't dealing either. A man offered to take me to Las Vegas afterwards. Pure luck.

Nice, after this hand, we're chipping in to have the guy who delt us a shirt made that says "The Kansas City Shuffler" on it.

The really sweet thing about it is I almost folded the hand twice. It was a big risky bet to stay in after the flop and to get to the flop wasn't painless either, so it was a VERY sweet pot in a game where there weren't many, $100 limit but big bets were pretty rare, big called bets anyway. I was basically all in with the last bet, with the nutz.

Only time I've ever played for those stakes too, just a treat for myself and boy was it.

Mildly interesting, maybe. Amazing? Hardly. Keep Playing.

If you bet the flop or turn he should have folded and never seen the river.

I checked the flop for a slow play, and he went all in. I called because I knew I had the outs.

I guess I think differently than you.

The most amazing thing about that hand is someone made it to the river with 9 8 offsuit with the flop that came.

Who ever had 9 8 offsuit had to get runners and got them and still didn't win......that's not amazing that just not smart poker.

It's pretty common for 2 or more players to get a straight with a flop like that because A LOT of people play Jack 10 or better.

Flushes crack straights everytime people set down and play hold'em.

I used to play poker all the time, until I lost $50+ on a single hand. I had a straight flush, 9 to King. Lost to a royal flush. That was in October of 2005 and I haven't played since.

Which one of you ended up neckid first?

The hard thing is getting someone to bet against you when you have that hand coming....

So, you beat someone who had a SHIT hand. I hope they gave you your cookie right away and not an IOU.

Most memorable (or aweful) hand of poker I ever played:

I sit in at a 3-6 table for $600. Post my BB in the position before the button and am dealt 2-2.

Fold fold fold fold fold fold check fold fold raise to 16, I call.

Flop is 2-2-A. He bets, I call.

Turn is A, he bets, I reraise him huge, he goes all in with A-T

River is A.

On that flop he was .10 of a % to win the hand. MISERABLE.

At video poker your chances of hitting a Royal are about 1 in 44,000.

I've always wondered if anyone has ever gotten Quads on the flop and a higher pair of Quads has come back to win.
Now I know.

The worst part about it was that I was playing on pokerroom.com, and NOT any of the other sites, which have progressive bad beat jackpots (lose with any hand better then AAAKK and win an ENORMOUS jackpot). Had it been on partypoker, I would have been ~50-90k richer. DOH!

It does happen....although in Vegas you get paid for it. Last time I was at The Stratoshere, the "bad beat" was 4's or better and the payoff was over $40,000.

thought that was a bit low, so fed it into the odds calculator. sure enough, 0.1%...and only 2.27% after the turn.

[edit: my bro and i have been talking about this hand, and if it's any consolation, you played it exactly right. i know it doesn't help, but you got your money in with the best hand. some guys might have monday monrning QBd the flat call on the flop, but you're sitting on the nut hand at that point, and you were justified in milking. sometimes you just have to know that you played right, but the deck beat you]

exactly--no one would have stayed in after the turn, because he would be drawing dead--the only out was the 10, and that straights the board, so who would put in any money on a split pot?

now i have, on occasion, bet huge on a straighted or flushed board in a multi-way hand to scare someone out, thereby splitting the pot fewer ways, but that doesn't work heads-up, nor does it work against experienced players.

They'de be poker players I'de love to sit in a game with

I'de go so far as to say that the second board ace on the turn, was deffinately the best possible card in the deck for me. Stupid statistical anomalies

I felt that since I was sitting on the top straight I could milk it which is why I checked the flop, and he went all in. When he put up the 8/9 his only out for a split pot was the king, and it just happened to come up, but then that ace came out and slammed the straight board.
