Telltale Games

I had to pause my game to get this in. Max bought in with his gun and badge. On the first round, both Max AND the Heavy went all in. I went all in, and I won. I eliminated both of them AND I won Max's buy-in, ALL ON THE FIRST TURN. Best round EVER.

Hey that happened to me with the dangeresque glasses. of course getting both the lugermorph and the license to maim is better.

Just won a tournament that I was lucky to still be involved in after the a bad first hand left me with $400. Was just happy to survive at that point, managed to claw myself up to about $5k after a few good calls, then had a great round which put me up to around £25k and in a good position to win the tournament, which I did.

Hungryfreak · 11/27/2010, 11:35 pm

I had a major comeback against Tycho the other day. It was down to us two, and I had just lost majorly on the round that knocked out the last players. I clung on with about $1000 to $49000. I thought to myself, "you know what? I might as well go all in, because this is just going to drag out forever if I don't." So what happens? I win the round. Of course, I still didn't feel very confident, so I repeated the process several times until I was on level enough ground to do some damage. I must have won 3-4 consecutive all ins with relatively terrible hands (mostly random combinations of single digit cards). Once I got on steady ground, I played a slightly more conservative game and won on a final big all in (we were about even, each in the $20000 range).

I suppose it's not much compared to you guys, but I totally suck at poker. And it was the first time I won a tournament (of 2, out of 14 games now or something... yeah)

Strong Bad Fan · 11/29/2010, 06:29 pm

Well, I didn't win, but one time Strong Bad went all in, and so did everyone else, including me. Hell I expected getting a Royal Flush before that happened.

Heavy won the hand with a Straight by the way.

J Man of DOOM · 11/29/2010, 06:51 pm

So I was playing on Hard, Tycho and I were the only ones left. We were constantly exchanging chips, I win a hand, he wins the next hand, I win the following hand etc. So after 20 min, we even out around $20,000. I say @#&$ it and bet all in on a 7 and 4. He calls and he has 7 and 5. The River gets dealt and a 7 and 4 shows up. I'm all like "Damn!" because 99% of the time, the computer gets the card to win. Sure enough, here comes the g-damn 5. I was about to quit when suddenly the poker gods take a golden turd and make sunshine, here comes the 4! VICTORY IS MINE!!!! Plus I got the achievement. HEY EVERYONE, DRINKS ON ME!!!!

lombre · 11/29/2010, 06:54 pm

I have an absolutely awesome round the other day. The community cards were a 10, two Jacks, a Queen, and a King. Tycho and Max had folded, but Strong Bad and the Heavy were both going all-in. It was obvious that they both had a straight, and they did. I went all-in too, but I didn't have a straight. I had a full house with three Jacks and two Queens. It was a great "Oh yeah? Well take THIS!" moment.

It wouldn't have taken long to wait for a better hand to say @#&$ it on. :P

This may be true, but knowing Tycho, he probably would have tricked me into going all in on a 3 high. So better to shoot first, then ask myself "why I suck at poker" questions later. Now I can go back to Black Mesa and afford some proper safety equipment...

*GuruGuru214* · 11/29/2010, 07:53 pm

I just managed to knock Tycho, Heavy, and Strong Bad out in the first two hands (unfortunately, I forgot the specifics, but the one that got the Heavy was a higher straight than his). Unfortunately, Max took me another 15 or so hands, but I got him.

Spritz · 11/30/2010, 04:42 pm

Did this while trying for the "Down to the Green" Steam achievement. (Got it after the second hand.) First hand, everyone else folded. Second hand, got Strong Bad and the Heavy with a pair of 2s. Third hand, took out Max and Tycho on a pair of Queens.

Remolay · 11/30/2010, 05:20 pm

ME: I wonder how long I can go just going all in.

*goes all in every hand, fails to lose once*

WINSLOW: The Player wins the Tournament.

ME: Holy crap, really?

Mujaki · 11/30/2010, 06:07 pm

I don't remember which character I was playing against, I think it was the Heavy.
I'm dealt a pair of queens, so I lead with a raise.
Flop comes 2 2 3. "Okay, two pair, let's go with another small raise, don't scare them off too early."
Turn is another 2. "Well, that makes a full house for me. Let's see what we can milk out of their chip stack."
River card comes up... 2. Yep, the BOARD got a four-of-a-kind. Insert sound of jaw dropping here.

Final result? Heavy had been dealt a 5 4 off-suit. He had been throwing chips at an open-ended straight draw, but I won with a queen as kicker.

sl9 · 12/01/2010, 12:34 am

How about this one, both me and the heavy had THREE pair and mine was KK, QQ and JJ - I won because the heavy had a pair of 7's instead of kings

(note: As you can see I was affected by the invisible card bug in this hand, so I could not see that I had 2 kings until the very end

)

And in another game, I was astonished when the flop consisted of nothing else but kings, which matched nicely to my Ace-King

I then played it slow because I wanted the "Four of a Kind" achievement, but I need not have worried because Tycho tried to bluff me by going all-in with utterly worthless cards - that's why he's looking rather ill in this screenshot

I would love to see a screenshot of someone getting a Straight Flush or even better a Royal Flush, I have not been able to get either of those yet despite playing 1478 hands so far

Clord · 12/01/2010, 07:02 am

First turn on hard.
Me and others ended up going to all in.
Tycho won entire tournament on first turn.

tredlow · 12/01/2010, 09:36 am

I knocked out Heavy and Tycho at the same time, thus winning the game.

crfh · 12/09/2010, 05:05 pm

I went all in with Max and I had a great hand, I think it was the highest straight (A,K,Q,J,10). It was the last round of the game, we were equals, I had twenty something K and he had a little bit more. Just a little.

And then that tiny fuzzy bastard hit me with four of a kind... all A. >

I bet my roar was heard in the next state.

But I still love you, Max XD

They don't use a single deck in this game.
