I believe mine occurred last night -- 49.3 Big Bets playing $5/$10 at Empire. Full house, Jacks over 4s. Pot was capped preflop, flop, and turn with five players calling.

My best happened right after I first started. Party 0.50/1....In late position I have AJo, 9 in on the flop, no raises. Flop was T8Q rainbow, bet, raised, I called the raise (I was a beginner); 4 in for the turn: K, betting was capped with all 4 players along; 4 in for the river: 4, capped again; 3 to the showdown: KJo, J9o (flopped straight) and my AJo for the nut straight...34.5 big bets.

45 BB's with quad 5's. The biggest I've ever seen was won by my buddy with a set of 5's on a KT5 board; two guys had AK, one guy had AA, another had KT, and two other guys had QJ. That pot was 67 BB's.

Almost 50 BBs. 4 ways, capped every street with a maniac. Set over set over set over overpair. I had a set of 9s, there was a set of 8s, a set of 7s, and TT.

I called the raise (I was a beginner)

Calling the raise is correct.

I will have to change my screenname for this, in my fishier days on empire, in a 3-6 game, I called a 4-8 sooooooted on a raise in the BB...6 or 7 players in...player in early position re-raised, and some other yahoo who was out after the flop said "why not" and capped...when it got to me there was 60$ in the pot, and I couldnt help it...(what if I got 3 4's? my impressionable mind said..)...so theres an 8 on the flop along with a j and 3, I call the one bet for the turn, and theres a 4. and I give it a bump..I get re-raised and capped..river is k .so I decided to just call along with the madness...there is some face cards(but no flush or straight possibilities)...a lot of raising...(esp with the guy with 3-8) and I took down a $236 dollar pot...and never showed my face again. That's 40bb

I won a bonus hand on paradise once (499,800,000 I think) which was 75 big bets as everyone stayed in capping it all the way to end up being shown my J6o full house. For real life pots, I have a few that are in the low 30 big bets online, and I lost a 45 big bet pot with A5 to 99 on a board of 234-9-2.

Especially if it's in clubs. I dragged one of the biggest pots in my life with the 8c 4c in a pot limit game, against a guy whose slowplayed pre-flop aces turned into aces full. I turned quad 4's, and you can imagine how it went after that. A few months later I got the 8c 4c tattooed on my right deltoid.

So I took out $97 on a $1/2 table, 48 1/2 BB.

I kept on wanting to fold but it was a typical extremely loose game and I didn't feel confident until partway through the turn that I was necessarily really behind. You can see why when you realize that one of the guys cold-called three bets with just a pair of threes, including my raise though he must have known I play VERY tight preflop, unless he just hadn't been watching at all.

The pot just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger. When I called the final raise on the turn, depending on whether you figured my outs were 2, 3, or 4, I needed anywhere from 10.50- to 22-to-1 pot odds to draw the last card, and I was getting 35 to 1 with huge implied odds if I hit.

If I had been on a tighter table, I would have doubtlessly gotten out early, but the play was so loose there that I couldn't bring myself to abandon that huge pot until I knew for sure I should...and by that time, the pot was too huge to leave anyway.

My most memorable pot was playing LHE 0.01/0.02 at UB when it was folded around to me in the BB. I haven't won anything worth remembering after that $0.01. It made my day.

I went LAGging at a .05/.10 table after some bad beats on a 2/4...

I got some good hands for my first 3 hands... I played hyper aggressive and won all 3 pots.

Next orbit, I noticed that the average seeing the flop went from about 6 to about 3... Way too tight for this table, so I played the next 2 hands like they were gold. It was something like 63o and 84o... Each time I raised pf, and bet the flop like I had a Royal Flush.... Both times, I drove everyone out by the turn. Both times I showed.

Next hand AKs... I raise... The whole table started to play (except one player who folded). 9 players saw the flop for 4 bets.

Flop came with 2 Kings, and the Turn was a K. I didn't really care about remembering the other cards. There were about 5 or 6 at the showdown capped everywhere. I pulled a $7.80 pot... 78BB... After that, I think about 5 players left the table. And I was a little ticked that I wasn't playing a 2/4. Oh well.

This is a NL game so it's not the same but you'll still find it insane. Happenned last night at Commerce. Note MP1 just sat down and moved all-in 5 hands in a row either pre-flop or on the flop, he lost them all. This, btw, caused the entire table to tilt and start gambling like drunken roulette players.

$100 Max Buy-in NL Holdem $2/$3 blinds:
Preflop: Hero is UTG with T /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T /images/graemlins/spade.gif
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 (Crazy guy) raises to $20, MP+1 fold, MP+2 calls, CO folds, Button Calls, SB fold, BB calls, UTG raises to $100, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls all-in for $90, MP1 Calls all-in for $100, MP+2 calls all-in for $100, calls all-in for $96, BB calls.

I have $600 more and the BB has about $400 so he's the only one who can damage me.

Flop: 3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif, 3 /images/graemlins/heart.gif, 6 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif (5 players)
BB checks, UTG bets $150, BB folds. UTG

Turn: A /images/graemlins/spade.gif

River: 10 /images/graemlins/club.gif

Pot comes in around $600 for 200BB. My full house stands up!

Party 1-2 NL, I have 800 and my opponent has 600. He limps in EP and I make it 10 with KK. He raises to 24 and I call. The flop was 9 8 3 r and he checked. I bet 40 and he raised to 80, I called (maybe wrongly, but he was tricky and there was definitely some chance the hand would get checked down if he was bluffing.) The turn was a 4 and he bet two dollars, I called (again, maybe wrongly). The river was of course a king and he moved in, 600 blinds come my way. (he had aces)
