Post Your Finest Poker Moments

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.

Another one of my finest poker moments might have been playing Chau Giang NL $200/$400 HU in the big room at Bellagio. Okay guys, your turn.

Bluffing off case money to Persian Steve. A few limpers at 5-5 NL at the Playstation underground club in NYC. I raise big with AKo on the CO (I had a nitty image back then as I used to always nut-peddle with my bankroll on the table). Persian Steve called and a few others called.

I had 1K left and there was about 300 in the pot. Flop came down J39. Everybody checked.

Turn came a 6. I bet 250. Persian Steve looks at me and says "I think you're speeding kid" and calls.

River came a 10 and I pushed my last 750 in. He called me with 34o.

He said he put me on AK, and I was distraught: could I have been broke due to being outplayed by some New York shark? A year later he also put me on AK as he called off 9K against me on a J-high flop with QQ in a 10-25 game, so I guess that made me feel better.

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.
