| thlf Member since: Feb 24, 2010 Threads: 16 Posts: 260 | I was playin last weekend and the most unbelievable thing happened. I get pocket aces to start so of course I stay in. I don't remember the order of the cards coming out but at the end there was 9,10,J,Q,K of diamonds sitting on the table. I initially looked and couldn't believe it. Then I look at my cards again and there it is the A of diamonds. Holy shit! Guy to my right raises all in. I insta call. Three other people behind me do the same. Nice!!!!! |

But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

| thlf Member since: Feb 24, 2010 Threads: 16 Posts: 260 | I know there were a couple of other flushes, and I think one guy had a set but it was low, maybe 7's. |

| PerpetualNewbie Member since: Nov 30, 2009 Threads: 3 Posts: 88 | That's actually a common maneuver. If you think nobody has the single winning card, make everyone sweat a bit and see who drops. Instead of chopping a pot 5 ways, maybe you chop it 3 ways. And.. if you're the guy holding the nut card... contain your happy dance! |

| gog Member since: Jan 7, 2011 Threads: 4 Posts: 104 | Good job on the instacall. I would have freaked out, calmed down, made a big awkward shrug, declare "might as well call, since everybody's got the straight flush", laugh nervously, secretly hope that the cute cocktail waitress nearby would be impressed enough by my royal to celebrate afterwards in private, before finally saying "call... i mean raise... i mean call", losing at least two out of the three callers in the process. |

I did this in a pot. There were 4 people in the hand, and the board was 3 deuces and 2 queens. After the river card made the full house, I bet, and bet confidently. Only one person dropped out. Of course, we split the pot 3 ways. The guy who dropped out was pissed, but the other two totally understand why I did it. |
