Accidently called a re-raise, put me all-in with A6 off for $180 pot and hit full house on flop.

Very lucky and happy.

The maximum has been $ 4 in a micro-limit table, it turns out that the table was by color and I had AQ and my rival KJ
it was an excellent hand.
It has happened to me several times.
winning and losing:D

"Bad cards" like 7 2 are also absolutely perfect for going all-in in cardchat games aswell ;)

I don't play with bad cards. In most cases, playing with junk leads to losses.

Sometimes it's not what you have but what your opponent has and if you know dont they dont have much and wont call a certain amount then you should bet it.

I once called a big 5 bet preflop with 55 . Half the table went all in preflop. The rest of the table went all in after the turn. I hit a 5 on the flop and the other 5 for quads on the turn. I was chip leader pre hand so I KO all the players on the table. I started with $40 dollars and cashed out a bit over $1,300.

Dont heads up kinda mean that you literally have 50% chance of winning no-matter what cards you may actually have :hmmmm2:

Also this thread shows perfectly that for some people even certain cards which (preflop) have slightly bigger chance for straight are still considered as "bad cards" lol :dontknow:

One of my most bizarre hand's I have won was on-line, I was folding hand after hand in a game and got talking to another player, who had the same problem, he Said "He wished he could get a playable hand" and I replied "Yes, same here, I am sick of being dealt 7/2 every other hand".
Just as I sent the message I was dealt 7/2 of Clubs on the BB and even posted the message "Oh look 7/2 AGAIN!"
There were only 2 other players who limped into the hand so I checked, Flop came 3 Club cards and knowing I could be beaten by a simple 8 high flush I checked, one of the limper's bet half pot, the other called and after some thought I came along for the ride.
Turn card gave us a Diamond, so I checked again, first limper bet again half pot 2nd called so I called again not knowing what anyone else had. River dropped a Heart card which could have given someone a straight, but I thought if someone held a bigger flush I was still in trouble.
I checked the River and the 1st limper bet out again half pot 2nd now folded, so after some deliberation I sent a message to the other player,"You either have me beat or not" I shoved all-in with my 7/2 Flush and he called with a straight.
The player I had been talking to before the hand sent (LOL and NH) messages and I said "I told him I only had 7/2.
This is why I love playing Poker, for the fun of the game,

When the fun Stops, STOP!

i dont remember a particular hand but when i am in position i sometimes call with junk and you can hit really big with it . for example when i know someone has AA-QQ and i am on the button i call with lets say 7-4o and when i hit big i get a lot if not all of his money or stack

I had someone limp AA in EP in a tournament when I was in the BB with 63o, their limping triggered many more limpers and I think 3/4 of the table must have limped in by the time I checked.

The flop was 333 and I don't remember the exact details of the rest of the hand, but I do remember that I won a massive pot because two other players also had pocket pairs and there were multiple all-ins by the time we went to a showdown.

That's the risk you take when you limp with AA, don't get mad if somebody crushes them because you let them see a cheap flop.
