Big 1/2 NL Pots - Page 7

I saw a 1900$ pot at live 1/2. Board was paired and had 3 clubs on it. A straight took down the 950BB pot against trips. 800BB went in on the river, I was kinda surprised.

In a $300.00 capped by-in made the biggest score of my life. My first night at the Trop in AC I bought in for $60.00 and built up my stack to just short of $2500.00 in about 7 hours.

it would be alot more interesting to hear how you ran your stack up 40x rather than some freak quads over boat hand that only doubled you up

I won a $900'ish pot this past weekend in Tunica at the Goldstrike, they play 1/2 NL uncapped so the stacks are pretty deep

($900 total was in the pot, but about half of it I had put in)

Had queen's full vs. another guy's ace high flush

I lost a ~1500 dollar pot at Mandalay in 1/2 when my flopped boat got beat by runner-runner quads by some donk with an overpair. Got it all in on the flop.

That was maybe 6 months ago and I still feel sick thinking about it.

his turn card was enough to win him the pot, DUCY?

Not necessarily. DO YOU SEE WHY?

<font color="white">AJ v TT on AJJ flop, T turn, T river for example</font>

EDIT: I'm an idiot.

No, you're right. Rather than repeat this annoying DUCY junk:

Flop is 779 and all the chips go in with 99 vs. KK. KK could go runner runner quad 7's to win without being ahead on the turn.

This was my hand.

Yes, I saw why.

No, it didn't help me be any less smacked in the face with a brick.

Speaking of quads hitting one like a brick, I was short-stacked and on the bubble of a tournament for a WPT seat when I open pushed from the CO with AdQd. The BB called with TT, and I paused after the flop to notice he had the Td in his hand, meaning I couldn't go runner runner royal to best his flopped quads! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
