I haven't played poker in about a week since I rebuilt my PC and have been putting it through its paces (read: I played Morrowind all weekend). Finally get around to reinstalling pokerstars this evening, and start up some .02/.04 action for the hell of it. Sixth hand dealt:

I figure this is probably the most statistically unlikely hand I'll see in my life, so I might as well post it.

I was mopping up the final minutes of a Crypto hourly bonus, when the table suddenly collapsed to a heads-up battle against villain. The rake sucks for HU there, but villain was a really poor, passive postflop player (check out the flop check) -- so I stuck around to play a few minutes, especially since I like HU play.

Belittle my preflop call if you'd like, but folding the big blind headsup is an invitation to getting run over.

Oh, and I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] unlimited raises at Crypto sites.

A straight flush vs. quads at a full table is pretty amazing, but headsup it seems just astronomically improbable. Anyone able to estimate the probability?

Why is it every time it's not convenient to run badly, that's when the downswings come?

Default Quickest 15 bb I ever lost

Two AK hands...one and then one hand in between and the other, at the same table. At least my Aces held up at another table, but I didn't even make any money off of those, just a few measly bbs.

This downswing isn't my biggest in terms of BB, but it is in terms of actual money lost(since I moved up) and has stretched over the longest period. It's affected my play too.

The converter is acting really weird. Both these pots were +20bb. Dunno what happened with the converter...

Party Poker (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
.

Turn: 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks.

River: K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, SB folds, BB folds.

Final Pot:

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Ad Kd (two pair, aces and kings).
MP2 has 7c 8c (one pair, sevens).
Button has 2s Js (flush, ace high).
Outcome: </font>

was there a point when you wondered if he had 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7spade:?

PT has me down for one straight flush. I folded pf, and one of my junk cards would have completed it with the board.

Last night, playing in my live weekly .1/.2 limit hold'em game I got my 1st Royal Flush. Got paid off too, I have a Lagtastic image at that game.

A few hours later, at the same table -- I got my 2nd. Got paid off on that one too :P

AJs and ATh. Woot!

What are the odds of getting two royals in a single setting within a few hours of each other?? Up to that point the best have I've had was a 9 high diamond straight flush.

Ummm... if you mean his inability to read the board (I think he thinks he has a straight) combined with his inability to see that the hand he thinks he has is beaten... yeah sure. I love him regardless.

Nah...67 of spades is just a flush, not a straight.
