i've misread the board twice in my life, i suppose they can be considered my LEAST-finest poker moments. one of them was against persian steve.

5-5 game at broadway, i think i have about 1500, steve covers. he raises in ep, maybe a caller or two, and i call otb with 22. i flop a set with two spades on board, it's checked to me and i make a pot-sized bet, steve calls. turn is the Js, he checks, i bet, he c/r'es all-in. i call, he shows JJ, river is a non-board-pairing 4th spade. i muck, then later realize i had the deuce of spades.

Ugh, that hurts me just to read. I bet that haunts you to this day...

Hi Bruiser,

Too numerous to list. Just yesterday I took down the Party 1/2 NL game for 80BBs. Not impressed? I was also doing a little something known as "multi-tabling" at the time. That's where I play more than one game AT THE SAME TIME.

several years ago on my 2nd night of learning PLO I played short handed PLO against The Prince of Docness(I'm told he's an Omaha specialist, course I didn't know that) and what someone told me was Gus Hansen's online handle. Needless to say that didn't go very well.

I did last for quite sometime which I think for my 2nd day of PLO I caught on extremely quick

ummmm, hands from the 2/4 game w/ CG, please?

my favorite poker moment was the reno 5k wpt event, even though it crippled me.

CG was opening alot and willing to stack off with a LOT as long as he was doing the raising, i hadn't seen him even ponder calling an all in.

he was pushing james282 around a lot and was definately becoming a threat at the table.

soon after i talked i-forget-who into calling a bet it turns out id likely rather not have him call and winning CG opens on the button for like 15k, 100ante 1500/3000 blinds IIRC. i call 77 in the sb w/ like 36 folks or so left in the 591 player tourney. he has 120k or so in chips and i have like 250k.

flop is J52 rb. i check, he bets 20k or so, i push. he jumps out of his chair kinda and starts mumbling about how i have a set, and how could i have a set if i didn't reraise preflop (which, to myself, i was thinking lol). he finally said, after FOREVER, "ok, i come to gambool, i call" and tabled AA. i lost, was cripled kinda and finished 26th. james finished 22nd.

Winning a 430 BB pot with 88 vs AK and 77 during my second session of 2000 NL. (flop came K87 and all the money went in).

Hitting a 3-outer to scoop a huge pot in a 4/8 Crazy Pineapple Hi Lo game vs. Noted Baseball Authority Nate Silver.

When I was basically playing with lunch money, and I really had no clue what I was doing, I came 2nd in a 20 dollar tournament on party, and won 3400 dollars. My previous roll was about 100 dollars-- mainly from saving up a few dollars a day from lunch money from my parents in high school.

With 11 players left I got all in with TT vs QQ preflop and the flop was monotone, giving the QQ a flush draw and me one out. The turn blanked, and the river was a ten. I nearly [censored] my chair.

From there I was a nit and hit just a few hands, but mainly rode that pot to 2nd. This was just over 2 years ago, and to this day I wonder if I would have kept playing poker if I had not won that TT vs QQ pot. I'm sure there is a reasonable chance if I had lost, I would have gone busto and never played again. I have been going off that 3400 score ever since, and I had no money to my name before then. Every now and then I think about that hand, and wonder how my life would be different if I lost. God bless dikshit. I think.

This can be anything that's happened to you in poker, a hand or whatever else. I have two that come to mind. First one is a hand I played a couple months ago in Vegas vs. jay, 1800gambler at 5/5 NL, we are deepstacked, he has like 1.5k I have it covered. I open to $20 with AJo, he raises to $65 and I call, HU.

The flop is J52, I check/call his bet of $80. Turn comes a 8, I check call his bet of $200 and I'm not really sure what's going on now cause the game is playing a little crazy and we're drinking. River is a 3, I check he bets $450, and I check/raise all in for his last $700 or $800, he folds aces. He asked me like 25 times what I had, I said AJ but he said I'd never do that with AJ and insisted it was pocket fives.
