the best hand/story ever

[rt1]

Shant, Moozch, and I are in a cab heading over to the bellagio one night. In the cab were talking about poker or something and the driver perks up and says 'oh you guys play poker? listen to this'.

The dirver (our hero) is playing 2/5 NL one night with a 100$ buyin. The first hand he looks down at JJ and pushes all in preflop, a crazy guy calls him and our hero doubles and has 200$ behind.

The very next hand he looks down at AA. The guy he just beat raises and our hero moves all in (minus 10$). He leaves 10$ behind so that he has enough money to pay the valet when he leaves. The flop comes J23 and our villian in this hand tells the cab driver to put the last of his 10$ in the pot.

The driver thinks for a bit and calls. They flip up their hands, AA vs KJ... the rest of the story I will quote from the cab driver:

'the turn was a 2 and the river was a ten'.

us: 'so you won?!?!'

hero: 'yes'


how is this not the best hand a random person has told you that involves AA?
