Have you ever

Playing today, saw one of the stangest hands I've ever seen. Three guys in for the flop,,, flop come 8,9,j rainbow, turn is a king, river is a king.
One guy has pocket 8's. next guy has pocket 9's, last guy has pocket j's.
they all hit a set on the flop and ended with boats....
Has anyone seen this before?
Take care

Sorry. No, I don't read every single thread, I just thought it was a strange and interesting hand. Or maybe I did read it and forgot, I'm 63 years old and the old memory isn't what it use to be. LOL
Take care

Thread right below this one, "Pocket Pair Mania" talks about a situation like this.

Personally, I've never seen it before. One of my favorite winning hands was being dealt 7/3o in the BB with 2 limpers. Flop comes up some random rainbow cards. Everybody checks. Turn is a 3. I bet about 3x the blind, both players called. Can't remember what the river was, but we all checked it.

Both players had pocket 2's, and I beat them with my 3, haha. Okay, I guess that was slightly off-topic, just thinking about strange hands, though.

I've seen 55 vs. 99 vs QQ all flopping sets. I was the one with 55 and ended up losng my stack .

Not much you can do if you lose your stack in a situation like that. Some hands your destined to go broke on.

crazy sh!t that. never seen 3 ppl all have set's on the flop lol.
I've had my AA in BB beaten by sum limpers KJ.
Flop: xxK Turn: K River: K lol.

i see set for set here and there.. but never 3 sets... the hand i see the most is one person flops a straight one flops a set and one has 2 pair i see that a lot but not the 3 sets on the flop..funny thing is someone prob folded k8 that hand

I was the one with the KK....lol

Just a little off, but thats cool.

I was in a game earlier and 3 of us had sets, naturally I came out on the short end, but oh well.

Thats poker or fulltilt, which ever, lol.

peace all

Not to hijack, but c'mon people. Again with the notion that hands fall any differently on any given site...

Go play 50K hands on FT and 50K hands on Stars at the same stakes with roughly the same player skillset, capture them all in a tracker, then show me how anything happens any more on one site than another.

If it's a softer site with worse players, you'll see more suckouts because you'll see more people go to the river on marginal holdings. But I'll bet you your bankroll that you WON'T see one site dealing set over set or boat over boat more often than the other site.

I have seen 5 sets hit in the same hand...no joke...and it was in a live 1-2 NL game.....very tight table which is probably what allowed it to occur in the first place...9s UTG raised it to 7$...5s called as did 2s both in middle position....the SB had Kings and bumped it to 25$...old dude with cobwebs growing in the BB has Aces and only calls the 25$ which enables the entire thing to go down, he probably should at least double it if not go all in here....the 9s call and at this point so do the 5s and 2s for only 18$ more. Flop comes K-2-9, not a rainbow flop either but it checks around...turn is a 5...at this point the Kings check again, pocket 9s bets around 50$...5s moves all in, 2s goes in, Kings goes in...and for whatever reason old guy thinks his Aces are actually good and calls...river....an Ace....almost something out of a book...the dealer who dealt the hand says nobody ever believes the story when he tells it.

Other strange ones I've seen was 3 people flopping a different straight on a board of Q-J-10...one with A-K, one with K-9, one with 8-9....3 people flopping the same straight with 5-6 on a flop of 2-3-4...everyone was so excited when the money went in thinking for sure someone had A-5 and someone else had a set....and one I've also seen only one time was 3 players flopping 2 pair on a board of A-3-8...one with A-8, one with 8-3 and one with A-3.

Ive seen my aces cracked by aces....

The strangest hand I ever saw was AK vs AK vs KK vs AA all in preflop. KK is drawing dead to a chop or a king high straight flush. Gross.

If you've played poker for a few years you have probably seen just about every bad beat imaginable. The wide variance of hands that are possible to make will eventually come out.These same seemingly unlikely hands come out occasionally in any game that uses a 52 card deck.Have you ever played rummy and been dealt a 4 or 5 card suited runners?It's this variance that challenges poker sites to convince online players the shuffle is legitimate.

I watched on while my brother was playing and it was similar to theflop you had, everyone hit three of and all proceeded to go all in.

I think the flop was 7,8,9 and they each had a three of a kind.

But then the reall funny thing was, was a the turn and river was 10,6.

Everyone got up from their tables to come see the commotion.
