Toronto Poker 0 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 first off let me just say that before anyone flames me for this, keep in mind i am only 16 years old and work at a Wendy's fast food joint, so this is kinda a big deal for me.I started playing poker like 1.5 years ago after getting hooked watchin WPT and WSOP. I play holdem live with some friends like every 2nd week and play online(yes i know its illegal at 16 years old) well like everyone else i started playing holdem but got bored just playing hold em just that so i started playing other games, and after a while i read mike capplettii's book on omaha H/L split, and started playing that.I like the pot limit kind and was playing on full tilt, before that i was playing sit'n'go's and busted on the bubble in 3 straight ones, and in 2 i actually had a chip lead but started having the cards spit in my face, and when i did find a hand, i was either rivered or it was a major cold deck, but i wasn't too ticked off, and i went to a 25 dollar buyin pot limit omaha H/L gameThe very first hand i see is A 2 A 4 and with 3 limpers i raise the pot, hoping to build a big pot. They all call and the flop is A 5 9 : , one guy bets minimuim other 1 calls and i raise the pot, and get 2 callers, turn is J once again, bet, call, raise the pot, call, call. River is J and now i go crazy and push all in and amazingly get 2 callers, one has jacks full of aces and the other has the nut flush, my aces full house takes it and nets me the bigest pot of my life: 8) $68.50 and suddenly losing 3 sit'n'gos doesn't matter much, anyone else have a great poker moment that erases an otherwise terrible poker session?

wolfman50 0 Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 congrats on the win but it seems as though this deck might have had five aces, you have two aces, a ace on the flop, the player with jacks full of aces had to have one ace, and to have the nut flush there the third player would have to have an ace also totaling 5 aces. sorry for nitpicking im just bored, congrats on the win, my biggest pot in a cash game was prolly when i won about a 300 dollar pot in nl when i went allin preflop with someone else with my aces vs. their kings.

I have quads. straight flush not possible.I'm holding J'sboard reads A J J x xwe get heads up, no cap we start raising back and forth. I told the guy "I'll raise all night."He responds "kid, stop while you're ahead. I'd bet you five grand you can't win this hand."I looked around the table and asked the dealer "freeze the table?" all agreed.I stepped out to my car, returned and layed my money on the table.He asked the guy running the game if his credit was good. The house said it was. He flips Aces.I won $5,300 and change. Link to post Share on other sites

zimmer4141 0 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Congrats from a fellow 16 year old playing poker. My biggest pot was at a 2/4 NL table, both me and my opponent had about $800. I had AA on a board of AK5. Loads of betting and raising, finally he went all in and I called. He had KK. Turn and river gave him no help and I won a $1650 pot. Link to post Share on other sites
