Default I could only win a pot this big at InterPoker (low content)

Hi

I just had to share this enormous pot I won thanks to the unlimited raises possible in heads up situations at InterPoker.

Button was very loose and aggressive post flop. My final turn call was probably a bit weak, but he could easily have had A5 or 65.

When the river paired the board I was certain I was winning. Surely he could'nt have 22. I kept picturing this hand in my head but I was determined to keep on raising.

I wonder what the button held, A5D seems the only logical hand but I suspect he could have had a much weaker hand than this.

This is by far the biggest pot I have ever won as my normal maximum limit is $1-$2. I am only playing $2-$4 (I have sufficient bankroll) to enable me to clear the new bonus requirements at InterPoker. Must say I do not find the $2-$4 tables any tougher than the $1- $2 tables.

Has anyone else won a huge pot thanks to Inter Pokers unlimited raises?

no offense, but you lose this pot more often than you win it

I'd expect to see A5, 56, 44, or 33 much much much more often than 22.

I should have pointed out that button was losing about 70% of his showdowns. He would call on rubbish and raise with marginal hands. Obviously he had made a very good hand by the turn, but I figured I was winning this hand way more often than I was losing it.

the last time i played on interpoker, this endless raise on the river thing f-d me bigtime.

I had 44 and called a preflop raise from the button.
Flop came 644. I get in a couple bets there.
Turn comes K. We get in a bunch of bets there.
River comes K. We get in a TON of bets here. Up until that moment i had never been runner-runnered on flopped quads.

Naturally he turns over KK. Whats more, this was the weekend where Interpoker gave players an extra 10$ when they were dealt KK.

The guy took down a 250$+ pot (this was 5-10 i believe). AFter the hand, someone typed in "oh, you get 10$ bonus too!". That was a horrible slap in the face.

You forgot to change your name to 'Hero' at the end when you scooped up the pot. Nice hand. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
