Pocket Pairs

One does not often see so many pocketpairs at a time. I only went into this because I had the highest stack - so many people willing to go AI seemed to be a bit dangerous.

Anyway - I did come out a winner at the end of the game ;)

No it isnt often you see that many, in fact I have to say that's a first for me :D

At WSOP 2007 in the main event this hand unfolded:

UTG raises to 3*BB
Seat 5 calls.
Button calls

The BB and small stack moves all-in.
UTG raises all-in

Seat 5 re-raises all-in (this is the biggest stack)

Button calls.

BB has TT (Odds Win 19% - Tie 0.3%)
UTG has AA (Odds Win 1.85% - Tie 56.8%)
Seat 5 has KK (Odds Win 20.4 - Tie 0.4%)
Button also has AA (Odds Win 1.85% - Tie 56.8%)

Now this is sick - but it got worse...

Flop:
4 - 7 - 8 rainbow
Turn 5
River 6

Winning hand straight 4-to-8, and a 4 player split. :eek:

I played at the Gold Coast casino last weekend $5/$10 NL and three players raised and called each other and saw the flop(everyone else got out of the way), flop came out Q,9,2, first seat checked, 2nd went all in approx $200ish, 3rd seat called his all in, 1st raised to $400, 3rd reraised all in for about $900ish, seat 1 only had about $300 left so he insta-called all in, the last two cards came out as rags. Seat 3 throws over KK, seat 2 laughs and shows his KK expecting to get his money back, seat 1 bends them both over with QQ and takes down a $2200ish pot, you shoulda seen the faces on the two guys with KK, talk about priceless. Great hand not to be involved in.

Yesterda I sa y a able wre two times KK vs AA cam in the very first hand in a SnG.
In two or three bet they were all in. Nothing on the board, one tripled his stack and two players out - that was a quick start :-)
