Pocket Aces, two tables at the same time
I am usually a small stakes no-limit tournament player and have only recently started multi-tabling limit games at Poker Stars. I've only played a few thousand hands there, so I don't know how unusual this is, but I've never seen anything like it before.
I was playing 3 2/4 limit tables and had just gotten pocket kings cracked, when I was dealt pocket aces on one of my tables. I noticed an ace fall on my other table and then another ace.
At the first table the UTG player raised and there were two cold callers in front of me. I made it three and the UTG capped it and both of the cold-callers followed. The flop came of 4-9-9 and the UTG bet into me and with two callers in front I raised. I was very pleased to see the turn come as an Ace giving me a full house. Only the UTG paid me off, but it was still a nice $61 pot. He showed pocket Queens.
Meanwhile at the other table, a limper in middle position is raised in front of me and I make it three. The original limper caps it and the original raiser calls. The flop comes 2-J-3 all hearts, which does not make me happy. The original limper bets and the next in line folds. I raise and he re-raises. The turn comes the 9 of clubs. He bets I call. The river is the Ace of clubs. He checks I bet and he calls. He shows, yep you guessed it, pocket Queens.
Two hands played simultaneously. Pocket Aces vs. pocket Queens and I get a set or better on each hand. I doubt that I will see that again.
