Two first time hands
In the past few days, I’ve encountered two hands and situations that I’ve never come across before in my seven years of playing poker. Here they are:
Poker Stars $0.50/$1 No Limit Hold’em – 6 players
Hero (MP): $163.85
CO: $109.60
BTN: $101.00
SB: $23.70
BB: $145.40
UTG: $151.55
Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is MP with A A
1 fold, Hero calls $1, 2 folds, SB raises to $7, BB raises to $17, Hero raises to $43, SB calls $16.70 all in, BB raises to $97, Hero raises to $163.85 all in, BB calls $48.40 all in
Flop: ($314.50) 6 2 K (3 players – 3 are all in)
Turn: ($314.50) J (3 players – 3 are all in)
River: ($314.50) 3 (3 players – 3 are all in)
Final Pot: $314.50
Hero shows A A (a pair of Aces)
SB shows K K (three of a kind, Kings)
BB shows Q Q (a pair of Queens)
Hero wins $243.40
SB wins $68.10
(Rake: $3.00)
I’ve never seen AA, KK and QQ all at the same 6-max table at one time. Luckily though, I was only sucked out on by the short stack and ended up winning a big pot against one of the other big stacks at the table.

Wow, my first Royal Flush of any kind and a flopped one at that. My only concern was how was I going to make any money on this hand. Needless to say, my opponent flopped top 2 pair and then turned a full house. I’m sure after the turn, he was wondering how was he going to get any money out of me. Two monster hands colliding and I was able to stack my opponent.
This is why I play poker.
