One of the wildest things Iāve seen was a four-way all-in preflop in a low-stakes live game ā pocket aces, kings, queens, and ace-king all went in. The room went silent⦠and the board ran out Q-Q-x-x-x. Quads on the flop. The guy with queens stacked everyone while the aces didnāt even make it past the turn.
What made it crazier was the reactions: disbelief, laughter, one player storming off, and the winner just sitting there frozen like he couldnāt process what happened.
Moments like that are why poker never gets old. You can play perfectly and still get crushed ā or make one move and have a story for life.
