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!!!!!

Too bad you weren't playing three card poker at Caesars and betting the bonus. You'd be a millionaire.

I'm a bit surprised so many stayed in to the river. Do you remember any of the other player's hands?

I know there were a couple of other flushes, and I think one guy had a set but it was low, maybe 7's.

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!

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.

I was at the Suncoast. Unfortunately they don't have any bonus promo's as of yet. They plan to put them in soon. It was still a decent pot though.

LOL seriously, I LOLed at this. Was this 2/4 limit? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I don't think you would have qualified for a bonus anyway as, typically, both hole cards have to play.
