Biggest $2/4 Pot EVER!



Posted Wed Apr 20, 2005 9:18 am GMT by Skribbles
I stumbled upon the loosest $2/4 FL table ever on Pokerstars. I was up $240 in a matter of 45 minutes (left the table up $210).

This pot had a big part in it. Please take a guess at what the other guys had...

Is there any way I could have got more bets out of this or was it played the best possible? I'm new to limit so I don't know all the ins and outs.

Well being that the pot was capped everytime and you didn't push anyone out with your bets, there's no way you could have gotten more money out of that pot.

Nice hand, it's always nice to take down a big one with the nuts and bring everyone with you.

Please take a guess at what the 2 guys had that capped to the river...

One with QJ maybe one was a club and another with 55???

No clue, not having played with them I can't put them on a hand.

how about 74o 23 Club ? Razz
