After reading ESPNs "The best hand I've ever played".....

[sjay2k]

This hand was actually played by my friend, but I still thought it was pretty cool

Game is 15/30 limit holdem (my friend told me the BB in question has made a couple of moves on the river in this session)

Folds to my friend on the button, he raises with 4s5s

SB 3-bets, BB calls, my friend calls

Flop is

2s-6h-7h

SB bets, BB calls, my friend raises, SB 3-bets and BB caps.

Turn is 9s

SB bets, BB calls, my friend calls

River is 10d

SB bets, BB raises, my friend 3-bets (!!), SB folds, BB folds.


My friend scoops an obscene pot, shows 5-high and all hell breaks loose in chat. SB had AA and BB had KhQh. Just sick.

That is a crazy hand. The funny thing is, you can't really fault anyone for how they played it. Your friend's three bet on the end was pretty crazy (I would have folded there), but it worked.

Cool hand.
