640k should be enough for everybody....




I happen to enjoy poker a great deal, particularally no limit Texas Hold'em. This is the PokerStars hand history for one (what I think is...) of the largest play money wins ever. If not ever, but most certaintly more than anyone on that table, myself included, has ever seen.

I am jowr.

This is a 100/200 blind no ante play money Texas Hold'em table. What's especially fun is that I can sell these chips for roughly 10$ per million chips, so this was a 6 dollar win.

PokerStars Game #25719578984: Hold'em No Limit (100/200) - 2009/03/07 17:25:02 PT [2009/03/07 20:25:02 ET]

abil2000: calls 2000
Dilrosun: calls 2000
jowr: calls 2000

I do not know why I called this, 97 off-suite isn't that good. Off by one hole cards sometimes work though, and this is one of those times.

*** FLOP *** [Qd 8h 6c]
jowr: bets 10000

This is an open ended straight draw. How the fuck could I not make a bet here?

bastinov: calls 10000
blowhol: folds
BigDougie612: calls 10000
yarak atan: folds
abil2000: calls 10000
Dilrosun: folds
*** TURN *** [Qd 8h 6c] [8d]

The turn was bad for me.

Mathematically, the odds of hitting an open ended straight after this is exactly 17.7%. However, my stack was rather large and by this point the pot was rather large - 500k is larger than I've ever seen. So I felt that was worth the shot - worst case is that I blow 70k on that, realize I'm drawing dead, and fold.


jowr: bets 25000
Dilrosun said, "fd k 10"
bastinov: raises 69150 to 94150 and is all-in
jowr said, "interesting"
BigDougie612: calls 94150
abil2000: folds
jowr said, "oh dear"
jowr said, "i need to think for a minute"

...I did...

BigDougie612 said, "i had too"
jowr said, "ok"
jowr: calls 69150
*** RIVER *** [Qd 8h 6c 8d] [Td]

FUCK YEAH

jowr: bets 150000

...I do sometimes bluff, and that bet was about 1/4 of the pot at that point. A decent sized bluff hand, just scaled to match my stack and the pot.

BigDougie612 said, "WHAT???"
jowr said, "it is to make you think"
jowr said, "carefully"

...it's true...

BigDougie612 said, "i have trips"
BigDougie612 said, "lets gamble"
BigDougie612: calls 150000
*** SHOW DOWN ***
jowr: shows [9s 7d] (a straight, Six to Ten)
BigDougie612: mucks hand
jowr collected 300000 from side pot
bastinov: mucks hand

...bastinov had pocket kings. He stoped talking mad shit about me roughly 400k ago.

jowr collected 338050 from main pot
BigDougie612 said, "OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
