What are the odds of it?
Just a mind-game. Join in if you like. Invent possible hands (I stress that they should be possible), and then post them for others to figure the odds of it happening. My contribution:
Player1: A
K
Player2: A
K
Player3: Q
J
Flop: A
A
K
Turn: T
River: Inconsequential.
I was just trying to figure out the worst way to lose all your money, and this popped into my head. Players 1 and 2 would not be worrying about any flushes. In fact, they'd be welcoming Player3's all-in on the turn. Just curious: What are the odds of it?

The odds of that hand happening are so astronomical that's it's quite probable that it'll happen to me

These all look like hands that I've been on the losing end of tonight.
Hah, me and my good luck.
Look at this example:
J10 from big blind, and I flop the straight. There's one spade and two clubs on the board, so I bet 2x pot. Idiot to my right calls with nothing. Others fold. Turn, A, Spades. I bet pot, idiot calls. River, rag, spades.
Would you believe that guy chased a runner runner spade flush for half my chipstack?
Believe it. I'm still pissed. I hope he pays me on another draw like that soon, I can't afford too many more of these losses.
