How about the biggest cash of your life? Sheer luck at a Party Poker .50/.1.00 limit Bad Beat Jackpot table on June 15th 2010 at 3:19 PM est. I was off work because I had a bad cold at the time.
I was dealt As Jc at seat 2 on a 10 seat table. Seat 1 folds I called and seat 3 raises and 3 more callers me included so 4 players in the hand.
The flop comes Js, 9d, Kd so I have 2nd pr A kicker.
I check and the pre flop raiser bets out and all 3 of us also in the hand call.
Turn comes Jh. So I now have 3 Jacks with A kicker.
I check and then the player in Seat 6 bets. The player in Seat 9 who was SB calls, after which I check raise which get 2 players to fold and 1 player that calls me. Seat 6....thank you.
River comes Jd. I now have 4 Jacks with A kicker.
Betting is capped at 4 bets each and Seat 6 shows Qd, Td for a straight flush 9-K in diamonds which beats my 4 Jacks.
I end up winning $75,219 US. Seat 6 wins 1/2 of what I won and the other 8 players each win a 1/8th share of the 25% that remained of the $150,438 Bad Beat Jackpot.
Most awesome poker day of my life by a gazillion miles.
PS: I had the hand history and congratulatory letter that were both emailed to me, laminated onto a wooden black plaque. I have the plaque on the wall of my downstairs man cave.
