I'm watching this Poker Superstars thing... David Sklansky got AA dealt to him FIVE times. Jeebus!
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

No sir, but that's pretty unreal.
Cindy Violette got 'em twice herself. Poor Mike Sexton.

5 times or is this an exagerated estimate?

I had Aces 4 times in 5 hours at a live game on Thursday. Won 3/4.

No, he's not kidding, I was watching it and he got pocket Aces 5 times. The first hand dealt to him was pocket Aces, and the 2nd hand was also pocket Aces. It's unbelivable.

That was amazing. I just wish that program was longer, it seemed everytime they came back from a commercial break the chip leader had changed and I had no idea how it happened.

I hate Cindy Violette now. How could she let that bastard come back and win?

Well does this put the final nail in the coffin of all the "online poker is rigged" posts?
I doubt it.....

How many hands were actually played but edited out for time constraints of TV? 5 paired Aces in an hour would be lucky, but if the actual session lasted 3 or 4 hours, it would be less amazing. The problem with a lot of new players is they watch TV and think that they are watching average sessions of poker. They don't see the hands that have folded around to the blinds because they don't make for exciting viewing and get cut out. Plays where trip aces get knocked out by an inside straight on the river get shown because they are more unusual than not and have a lot of chip action going. It makes for a more interesting broadcast.

I was in a game last week, within the space of an hour pocket aces had been dealt 4 times, twice to the same guy - everyone of them lost with it.
