The textbook definition of "suckout"

God, that was sad.

The next hand was KK vs TT - TT hit a set and screwed me. Shortly after that, its AK vs AQ. AQ hit full house and screwed me out of the tournament.

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.

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.

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

*** 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.

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.
