Favourite All Time Hand Played

How many times has it happened to you - you've hit quads and there are still a couple of players in the pot, you put in a smallish bet, not wanting to scare them off, but enough to get paid.

Then one by one up pops 'fold' and your left with a great hand and a small profit - doh

Well, it may be rare but it doesn't always end up like that - check the attached pic - after which i had to say the other players "I enjoyed that"

So far in my online poker play, it would be my signature hand "the heinz" defeating all odds.

Kj, did you personalize that table skin? It's very sharp.

Favorite hand ever is easy for me. I was playing in my first live tourament and the blinds went up every 45 minutes so I decided to play really tight aggressive. I had gone from the starting 5k in chips to close to 9k but was starting to lose action because of my image so I decided I had enough money that I could see some flops cheap and get out if I did not hit.

I had position and got 9 2 suited and it had been limped to me so I called.
Hit the miracle flop of 992. It got checked around and the turn made a flush draw of spades. I bet it out this time and got two callers. The river was a third spade and got the A high flush all-in and more than doubled up since he was the only one at the table who had more chips than me.

That hand vaulted me to a monster chip lead and coasted to a 3rd place finish when the deck went cold after that.

I will never forget that hand. Not my proudest hand but the one I will always remember.
