The Most Amazing Things You've Ever Seen

[Rasputin]

So what are the most amazing things you've seen in an SnG?

This is three consecutive hands from one last week:

*********** # 24 **************
Five players all in before the flop
Board [7c Td Tc Qd Ts]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
pktduece: shows [9s 9d] (a full house, Tens full of Nines)
SE7ENs: shows [8d 8c] (a full house, Tens full of Eights)
pktduece collected 410 from side pot-3
jlinthead: shows [Ad 6d] (three of a kind, Tens)
pktduece collected 930 from side pot-2
bna511: shows [5d 5c] (a full house, Tens full of Fives)
pktduece collected 1460 from side pot-1
xixannxix: shows [Jd Kh] (three of a kind, Tens)
pktduece collected 6475 from main pot

*********** # 25 **************
Three players all in before the flop.
Board [8d 9c 5h Tc Qd]
redrum711: shows [Ac Qh] (a pair of Queens)
pktduece: shows [Jc Ah] (a straight, Eight to Queen)
pktduece collected 1710 from side pot
tbrm1822: shows [Qs 6h] (a pair of Queens)
pktduece collected 570 from main pot

*********** # 26 **************
Two players all in after the flop.
Board [6c 9d 5s 8h 5d]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
pktduece: shows [9s Qh] (two pair, Nines and Fives)
SOSHHSB: shows [Ah 2h] (a pair of Fives)
pktduece collected 2450 from pot

From eight players to done in three hands.

And last night I had A6s in the big blind, caught the nut flush draw and bottom pair on the flop. The small blind kep making half-pot bets and I kept calling. I figured he had a flush draw and if he hit it I'd hit it harder. Next thing you know the river card comes (no flushes), the pot is $2400 and he has $155. He checks. I bet $155 hoping he has no pair. He folds. He folded a $2400 pot for $155. Granted, it was his last $155 but still.

I wouldnt call this amazing but was the most lag play Ive seen yet. In a $10 SnG last night, a player started pushing all-in on every hand on level 1. He knocked out 7 players and we were in the money in 29 hands. Was pretty amazing the number of pushes he won with garbage. I couldnt catch squat but made the money without playing a hand. Ended up going up against him with 99 and lost to T4o.

This is something I highly recommend:

every so often, buy into a $5 SNG and push every hand until you either win or get knocked out. It's good for you.

I don't have the hand history but from memory the hand went like this:

Two players all in before the flop
Hand 1: A /images/graemlins/heart.gifJ /images/graemlins/club.gif
Hand 2: Q /images/graemlins/spade.gifQ /images/graemlins/club.gif

Flop: Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
Turn: 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif
River: 9 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

Hand 1 wins, four nines with an ace... ouch!

[lorinda]

Sadly this wasn't a sit 'n' go, but the pot odds scenario is so funny that it felt like a SNG.

This hand was a margarita hand on paradise poker, Im interested to know if anyone thinks I was winning
The first guy to speak after my river bet thought for an eternity.... my guess was Ace high.
For those not familiar with the promotion, you get $10 for being dealt into the hand and $100 for winning it....

I thought I was going to outdo you here, but going from 8-players to finished in three hands is pretty exceptional.

Anyways, here is my contribution:

Board: [ Kc Jc Ts As Ac ]
AleoMagus balance 1630, bet 260, collected 670, net +410 [ Qc Tc ] [ Royal Flush -- Ac,Kc,Qc,Jc,Tc ]
aaronw4 balance 210, lost 260 [ Ah Ad ] [ four of a kind, aces -- Ah,Ad,As,Ac,Kc ]

[willie24]

now that is good

[willie24]

he didnt raise the river with quads?

[OrcaDK]

They went all-in preflop, tough to bet the river then /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[willie24]

if the pot was only 670, but the winner has over 1600 at the end of the hand, and the loser was not eliminated at the end of the hand, how could it have been an allin?

[willie24]

[ThorGoT]

The most amazing thing is that neither one of you was all in!!!
