My family does a poker night every so often (not with money, just the chips...because we don't have enough money to make it worth playing with real money).

The second hand of the night...I got myself a flush. Figuring I could just get the pot right then and there, I go all in, figuring I'd scare everyone else out.

It didn't work. My sister had a straight. >_<


But, I got my revengence on Saturday. I had to get up early for work, and we started playing poker around 7:30, so I wasn't thinking all that great. Anyways, I'm looking for a straight, and all I need is a 9 on the river.

It doesn't come. Dejected, I put down my cards, saying all I have is a pair of sixes. My mom points out to me I have a flush. I hadn't even thought to check the suit of the cards. :p

Um.............flush beats a straight.

Ouch, Toastburner. Bitchslapped by a mistake. >_<

Sounds like somethin' I saw online. There was a full house of Kings and Jacks (three Jacks, two kings) in the community for Texas Hold 'em. Two guys kept betting, to the max bet. They turned up their cards, one guy having the Jack, the other having pocket kings. Bitchslapped.

Eh? Maybe I had the straight and she had the flush. I just remember it involved a flush and a straight, and I lost. We're not that pathetic...we looked up the poker hands in the encylopedia (yes, it's in there. Go look.)

It was a few months ago, so I probably just got the story mixed up.

I have THE best two ever, the first one cost me a grand total of $27,000, which I had earned online, working up from $50, it was going to pay off all my school.

I had pocket kings, a guy calls me all in, I call. The guy shows AA.....the flop comes 2 3 K, I'm like all w00t!!! then......both teh turn and the river are A's......

One tourney, I had J J, the flop comes 9 9 9, I bet big to scare some peoples out, it goes Fold, Fold, Call, All in, Fold, and back to me. and I think, If he's got the 9, he's got the 9. The caller folds. and we both flip over our cards.....he's got the 9.....then....the heavens opened, and the poker gods smiled at me. I caught runner runner J's to get a higher 4 of a kind

Isn't there some sort of moral code that moderators adhere to that keeps them from hustling their forumites?

Moderators? Moral code?

Tch.... *head explodes*

I wouldn't mind being hustled by Rai, though. Better than that shady Shiney character.

We need to arrange... SOMETHING so that I can humiliate myself with my feeble card-playing abilities. Not for real money, though, since I'm poor and couldn't afford a moderator hustling.

Ok, so I'm playing in the cafeteria of my college with a friend, no money involved (betting is forbidden on pain of expulsion on school grounds). However, I'm very competitive when it comes to cards. So I had a King 7 in my hand and two Kings came up on the flop. "Fuggin sweet" says I, so I check, trying to keep cool and the others in the hand. The runner is some worthless card, as is the river card. So I go all in on the river, one guy folds, and my friend calls. I laugh in his face and turn over my hand to gloat with my trip kings, but he laughs back and turns over a King Jack hand. I countered by spouting off with a string of obscenities that would make a sailor blush. Then I waited and we played another game after he had finished off the other player, and I was reminded of my place in the poker heirarchy.
