Largest Pot Limit Hand Ever at Party? Today I just experienced the largest pot ever in a $100 PL omaha hi/lo game. After playing for about an hour, I was up to $600. I tripled up earlier in the game when I was all-in pre-flop with three other people and I scoped it, the won the next 300 winning some nice hands. There were two other people at the table with over $550, people would buy-in and then lose their all money to one of us. We were playing 5-6 handed most the time occasionally would get up to 7-8 but mostly quite short handed. The three big stakes would occasionally get in a big with each other, I lost $100 once or twice to one of them and then would get it back from the new players, but never a huge hands. The the big hand came. I'm small blind and look down at As2d3sKd, I'm diffinetly raising here. I've been raising with a lot worse lately and love looking at this. A limp, raise, a reraise, and then another reraise making it $110 to go pre-flop. One of the players is already all-in pre-flop and the three remaining player are all the large stakes. Put is over $400 pre-flop. Flop came 2s8s10d. This is quite a nice flop for me, if one of my low cards was going to pair I wanted it to be the two since it is much more likely someone would have A2 then A3, so making it more probable I'll get all of the low if it hits. With the pot over $400 I'm happy to take it down right now, so I bet out $125, big blind calls rather quickly, action now to the button with the pot over $650 he moves all in for the rest of his $580 he started with. I put the rest of my 30 bucks or so in the pot, then the big blind calls as well. We now have over $1900 in the pot before the turn even hit. The turn is a great card for me Js, giving me the nut high at still drawing for the scope, but I want a KQ to come so I can scope this pot and want no part of the board pairing. The river came a 10c. The chips starting flying away from me and Party was asking if I wanted to rebuy. The big blind had JJ1010, he not only boated Jacks full of tens, but he quad his 10s, taking down a 1900 pot. When the large stack revealed his hand I realized how much of a favorite I really was he had A224. So for me to scope the pot I needed any AKQ97654, I win the high with a 3. There were only 3 eights remaining, 1 jack, and 1 ten remaining that was between me and $1900 in one and a half hours in $100 PL game, would've have been by far my biggest pick-up in that time span and in a ring game. I figured I should share that hand with all because it was a huge hand. The re-raise on the flop by A224 might have cost me that hand, but not positive. I'm guessing the JJ1010 would've folded on the turn when the flush hit, he would've only been for $235 and would've cost him $365 more to call just to pair the board, so I'm thinking he would've have folded, but the A224 might have called with the second low draw and a set. Then the question is asked if those cards even come if the betting was different because of the way PP deals. Who knows? Never did I think I could get up $600 in a $100 buy0in within one hour, nor did I think I could lose it all, nor did I think I could be one card away from $1900. I wish it was a live game where maybe we could've run them twice. It was a fun game and makes me look forward to the day I'm playing the $25-$25 PL omaha game at bellagio. Not that I would've played the hand different, but would any of you? |
