Matt--

If it's a myth, it's a mildly interesting evolutionary case. Back in the day it was always a stud jackpot.

Matt,

It's still a good story!

But this exact tale has definitely been posted on 2+2 before.

[censored] blatant collusion. old man and punk should be kicked out.

Re: Greatest poker hand ever
 

heard this exact thing, but it used to be an old lady and some punk kid.

good story.

edit: also, if he's rich, neither the pot nor the bonus are going to be meaningful to him!

Re: Greatest poker hand ever
 

Yes that's Alex, also the subject of Perpetual Commotion and Poker Parallels Parking, two of Tommy's best articles (www.tiltless.com).

Re: Greatest poker hand ever
 

It's an urban legend that was in Bluff Magazine before.

But, if the old man shows his cards before mucking, why don't his cards speak?

Re: Greatest poker hand ever
 

Definitely an old lady, definitely posted on 2p2. Although I don't think she whipped out any money for the rest of the table in that version.
