Default Post your great rounds.

Like the title says, this is where you tell us about some super lucky(or funny) play that happened in Poker Night, dont post dialoge because there is a thread about that already. This is more on the plays that caught your attention.

I just recently had the heavy go all in, and I was hoping for something good so I went all in as well, only for Strong Bad to go all in and bet his dangeresque glasses. This was at the very begining as well so not all the cards where in yet(why the heavy went all in that early Ill never know) and it showed the first set of cards which gave strong bad an advantage. Followed by the next set for strong bad to win, but I didnt notice I had a Flush the entire time during all this. I won the dangeresque glasses and eliminated Strong Bad and the Heavy in one swoop without even thinking I would win.

So post any of your good plays here.

Not too along ago from this posting, I was struggling through many losses to win on hard mode. One hand caught my attention. Four queens! I could get the four of a kind for the achieve, too. Trying to be more subtle than the last time I got a four of a kind, I was able to get Heavy and Tycho busted out at once. The only one left was Max. I had such an incredible advantage and good cards! I easily beat him. Man. What luck! Now I wonder if I'm going to go back to normal...

After two all in bets that completely ****ed me over at the last moment I had two incredible all ins. The first one was when Tycho was the only one left, he bet everything before the cards even showed and I called it without worrying since I had double the money he did, and what do you know, first thing the game does is give me a 3 of a kind, and then a poker with the last card while giving Tycho nothing XD Then currently, Tycho, Heavy and me kept constantly raising until both of them went all in, I don't remember what cards I got but I ended up eliminating both at once AND winning Sasha at the same time

First tournament I played (on hard), heavy and strongbad went all-in on the first hand, where I'd turned up a triple on the flop. Needless to say they had nothing So from there it was pretty easy to win my first tournament.

Then I lost 5 tournaments straight and ended with negative funds in the bank

I got both Max and Strongbad to go all in, each with one pair, while I had a full house. This happened in the first round of the game.

First round. Terrible cards.

I go All In.

The three other guys fall for the bluff. Tycho calls, putting all of his cash into the round.

I win with a pair of fucking twos. Double money. Hells yeah.

I'm not sure your 10 was all that was high.

I mentioned this briefly in another thread, but here's the most absurd round I had, and a good'un.

On the very first hand and before the flop, Heavy, Tycho, Sam and Strong Bad all go all-in! I promptly fold. Heavy wins and the tournament is now just the two of us w/ Heavy's 40k to my 10k. I have to keep folding my weak opening deals before the flop as he is betting high. Fortunately, it's so early in the game that the blinds are still small, else I'd have been done for.

So now it's down to his 44k to my 6k. I am dealt a couple decent cards and decide to go all-in before the flop. He calls and ultimately my hand wins. On the next hand, I pull the same thing. He calls and my hand wins. The following hand I get another good deal and the Heavy is checking after the flop, so I go all-in and the Heavy folds. Finally, on the next hand, I'm back to playing more conservatively, but after the flop I'm one short of an outside straight draw. Turn card fills the straight. I go all-in. Heavy can't top it. I win the tournament.

Winning four consecutive all-ins shows that it's better to be lucky than good.

In one game, after Strong Bad was out, everybody went all in and I was able to beat them. It was... Rather strange. I thought that maybe the game was being nice for me because of my incredible losing rate. Probably not, but ehh, oh well. Fastest game I ever played.

What the crap did Tycho have?

If Tycho had a hand like AK, AA, KK, or maybe even QQ or JJ, he'd be well justified calling all-in. (Well, maybe AK would be questionable, since it's a slight underdog to any pair. But it wouldn't be an utterly terrible play, especially considering the poster in question did go all-in with junk -- so Tycho has reason to expect it could happen.)

Of course, we know the game isn't always that smart.

EDIT: Wait, the winning hand at showdown was a pair of deuces? Hmm. Maybe AK or AQ, then?

In my last game, I went against Tycho mano-a-mano, with only $1500 left.

I turned the tables, getting the bet higher and higher, and I won with a full house.

I have only won twice.

It was between Me and Max. We had around the same amount of cash but my hand was TERRIBLE and the pot was HIGH so folding wasnt an option and sure as god betting and going on wasnt an option so i could do only one thing. I went all in. Max fell right into my ploy and folded. It all worked perfectly. It was set at the perfect point to where it was possible I had a flush(I of course didnt or else I would have betted onward and make Max bet more) so Max had to keep it in mind and he obviously did.

Had to fix that, sorry.

Any way, on topic.(spoiler tags reveal inappropriate language)

It was me Max and Strong Bad(The other two folded), I had a 5 and a 6. I thought "I could get a strait with this." I call. It comes to Strong bads turn He bets $3,200. I have $7,000. Knowing that Strong Bad Loves to bluff, I went all-in. Max folds. Strong Bad calls and reveals he has AA. I think "Oh shit, I'm fucked." The flop reveals 738. I need a 4 or a 9. next card J. OH NO! My heart is racing. Then a 4 is the final card. RELIEF! I got my strait! Screw you, Strong Bad!

I beat Heavy's AA with a 2 and 3 of different suits with a REAL lucky Two Pair situation.

One time me, the Heavy and Tycho were heavily in from the start when the flop turned up K, Q and J, all hearts. I got a bit nervous but tried to get them to fold by betting big. No such luck, and the river turned up a 10 of hearts. Things were getting desperate at that point, but we all stayed in with some more betting. In the end I won... with only a high card.

Strong Bad went All In on me in the first hand of the game. I got three of a kind 8s, and he got nothing. He lost right there in the beginning. That was awesome.

What? Sam didn't sit in for a hand in your game? Max has a hyperactive bladder (and everything else) you know. Ah, well, you caught me. My bad.

Dang, that would be a fun cameo along with baf's suggested Spy cameo.

I just eliminated Strong Bad in the very first hand of the tournament. Twice. In a row XD

EDIT: HAHAHA, holy crap, Max, Heavy, and I all got the exact same hand XD
