Wow sick hand at .25/.50 ring @ swc

[weewayz]

You slow played a monster on the turn thought you had the goods and found out that you had one out, and bam get very lucky. Nice catch and nice pot too.

Once did this in a ring game 2-5 blinds with a $1500 max buy in at the Wynn In Las Vegas. Guy in late position raises to 20 after several limpers. The sb calls. I call with 99 in BB, and both limpers call as well. $4 rake taken out (the max in Las Vegas for this size game). So 6 go to the flop with 116 in the pot.

Flop is Ac Jc 9d. Everyone checks to the raiser who bets 50. Everyone calls. Turn is a 5d I lead out for 90 and there were 3 calls (yes, this was a great game). So 4 players going to the river and pot contains around $780. River is the 9c. I lead out $400, the first limper cold calls my bet. The third player foldsand the initial raiser says "I am all in" ( he had about $1,100 left in his stack and I barely had him covered). It comes back to me and of course I also go all in. The other player who initially called my $400 bet shows his Kc 10c then mucks his flush face up and says "I guess this isn't any good!"

The other guy is so excited and flips over his AA for Aces full. I then flip my quad 9's over and in the process I spill my coffee on the table. What a river card. I was so smug thinking I had everyone beat on the flop. But I rivered a 1 outer for once and won a sweet pot. It wasn't the biggest pot I ever won in a live no limit hold em game but it was the biggest one I won in a 2-5 game! I can tell you that I have taken a lot more beatings though getting fh rivered by quads more than several times in my lifetime as well as guys pushing all in with kk vs my queens full of 6's with a 3 heart board and then getting rivered by the case king. But it happens in poker. Never a sure thing until the river is out.
