One of my luckiest ever live hands has me on the opposite side of this story with 55 versus JJ and a 55J flop.
My luckiest hand ever was similar. 2/5 table.
I had bought in for $500 and ran it up to $4000 in about an hour. No skill, just catching everything and the other players assuming I had to be
bluffing because no one could get that many boats, straights, and nut flushes, but I did. Along the way, I did have to show a couple of bluffs when I got caught.
There is a guy on super-tilt. He had just re-bought the max $1000. I had seen him rebuy $1000 twice before and he was already complaining about being the most unlucky player in the world when I got to the table, so no telling how far he was down. Pre-flop he makes it $35 and I put him on decently high pair.
I hold 55 and call hoping to make a set or fold. The flop is 335. I check. Mr. Super-tilt bets a pot sized $100. One player folds and I reverse
bluff to $300. He insta goes all in. Maybe he has AA? He has already shown he will way overplay stop pair.
I have the second best possible hand and pause only long enough to make sure I haven't misread the board, I call. He flips up his pocket 3s and celebrates, clapping his hands, standing up, yelling for the whole room to hear that he finally got me.
The turn card is a 5. Quads over quads.
Mr Super-tilt dropped into his seat with his mouth hanging open. Paused for a few seconds and left without speaking.
That is the only one outer I've ever won. I've lost to one outers over
ONE MILLION times, or maybe it only feels like that.
