I'm starting this thread so you can brag about your "best hands". I'll start.

Best Pat Hand, 5CD: I was once dealt a pat king-high straight flush. I got no post-draw action with the 2nd nuts.

Best Drawn Hand, 5CD: I made a royal flush, drawing one to KQJT suited from the BB after the SB completed. Naturally, the one time in my life I held the nuts in this game, I got no action and won the minimum.

Best Hand Beaten, 5CD: I had AAAKK go down to quad fives. I have not yet had quads or better lose in 5CD.

Biggest Laydown before the draw, 5CD: I once correctly laid down a ten-high straight during a Planet Poker PL Draw tourney a few years ago. A player opened with a pot sized raise UTG, I repotted, and then a painfully weak-tight play re-re-potted right after me. I figured this player would never make this move without a monster and dropped my hand. The other player got the rest of his chips in and his AAA lost to an ace-high flush.

Biggest laydown, after the draw: I got away from a king-high flush before. I'm genetically incapable of getting away from an ace-high flush or better because I'm a five-card donkament specialist. I did incorrectly lay down a weak flush to a guy that I thought had made a boat against me yesterday, but he actually hadn't improved his trips [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

"Worst" Hand that won at showdown, Triple Draw: I once value bet with paired sevens in a donkament when I knew my opponent was confused and was playing for high hand. I was ready to cap but he just called with trips. Against players who knew it was lowball, I won a hand with paired fours against another player with paired fours when I "outkicked" them [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Best "Snow", Triple Draw: It's questionalbe if my play was advisable, but I won a hand when I was dealt 777JJ and represented a pat hand the entire way and was not looked up. I have had several hands that should have been better "snowing" opportunites, including a hand where I saw 3 of the sevens and all 4 deuces go through my hand, that didn't work. I haven't been dealt 2222x pat yet.

"Worst" Hand won at Showdown, Badugi: Ten-high three card hand. I haven't logged many hours at this game. Has anyone won a showdown with a two-card hand?
