It's approaching the end of the year, so what better time is there to create a memorable hand montage of 2012. It'd be great if everyone could post interesting hands they've encountered throughout the year, preferrably with a story behind them. The bigger the pot the better!
One hand that springs to mine was live at the SPT Grand Final side event on the Saturday night. Blinds were something like 100/200 with a running 25. I had AK in the cut off and I had been very quiet for once. A blinding headache didn't help! I raied to 500 and the button called, everyone else folded. Flop comes down A83 rainbow. Happy days! I put in a 750 bet and oppo thinks for about 30 seconds and calls. Turn comes K. I'm loving life now, look at my stack and wonder how I can get it all in. I bet 1500, leaving me about 4000 behind. Oppo goes into the tank. I lean back in my chair and say "you do know that I'm shoving any river" He thinks and eventually calls. I'm still leaning back not looking at the cards. Dealer deals the river and I say all in, not looking at it. Oppo stands and shouts YES and call. Not the reaction I was expecting! I see him turn over 88. Oops. I then look at the river card to see another K. I turn my cards over and say unlucky trying not to smile too much as he was a big bloke!

Great start to the thread!

I remember one hand this year in a £5 heads up SNG. Opponent is pretty standard. I get AA and we both get a little cute pre. Anyway we get to the river and the pot is something relatively small. I've hit top set on an AKxxx dry board. I check behind on the turn and my opponent bets the river.
I say something along the lines of, 'surely you can't beat my ace' and shove which has him covered. He then says, 'I can hahahahahahaha unlucky mate. See you in a bit', Lets it time right down and calls with a set of KINGS for the second nuts on the AKxxx board. I proceed to stack him and nearly wet myself with laughter.
Worst hand losing over a £1000 pot being number 1 on top of the pots that week 6 bet jamming 67off into aq allin pre.
Best moment when my aj held up against k10 heads up in the ukops and reliasing i had won it for £6k and my 1st major poker title. I couldnt stop jumping around the house and screaming! My dad didnt know what was going on at 3am!
I went to vegas in the summer then went to LA for a few days to stay with my mate. Live hand in the commerce La 1/3 cash in couple of limpers i raise with pocket 8s get like 7 way action and the flop comes 843 i think it was 1 guy bets i call next guy moves allin followed by 3 allins behind me and i scoop the pot for like $1200. Didnt see anyone elses cards as they didnt turn them over guess thy all went crazy with overpairs and 1 guy said he had a flush draw. Felt like a king with my big stack of chips in front of me drinking cocktails and them bringing me free steak to the table!
