HI all . So far , i dont really have a best or a worst poker moment  but i love reading poker stories .  Maybe you're best moment has nothing to do with a win but something funny that happened playing live or in the chat box. Or maybe you met your partner at a live game . Whatever it may be , please share your stories . ty.

    Not exactly best moment but quite a funny story.  A friend and myself were both playing in the same tourney (different site), with a big field 1000+, and we would regularly phone each other up to see how the other was getting on and going through what hands we had etc, next thing, my table broke, and what are the odds, I got moved to his table, and he didnt notice, not a clue.  So he was telling me his hand, and I was raising into him and outplaying him every flop.  He was even saying to me, oh s**t someones raised, I dont know what to do. I was loling so hard.  So after what he mustve thought was a complete maniac, he actually looked at the alias, and even read  to me this guys(my) name, still for a second not realising, when the penny dropped he went nuts.  He saw the funny side though and believe me he wudda done the same

    Another funny one,

    Quite a while ago I had qualified for a semi final in a live league game and decided to make it an all dayer.  I was pretty wasted,  I got up from my table to go to the bar, chatted to a couple of mates who were nearby, went to the bar, came back and sat down to see my chip stack was completely diminished and I had gone from a big stack to a real short stack.  So of course I challenge the others at my table as to where my chips had gone and was getting nowhere, I was getting quite angry and telling ppl to stop taking the p**s.  I then heard lots of laughter behind me and turned round to see some familiar faces,  familiar being the other players at the table I was sitting at.  I had come back and sat at the wrong table and not even noticed.
    The table  I shouldve been at and the mates I`d been chatting with had decided to let me embarrass myself and keep digging a hole.

    That still gets brought up from time to time

    Best Moment : Winning a £30 Rebuy at Bristol Gala... for 3 reasons... 1st of all it was my first live win @ a casino and my biggest poker win at that time (£700) 2nd.. I had AA busted with 20 left vs KJ and put me down to 650 when blinds 200/400 but sumhow got it back!! /.. 3rdly it was the night before my little girl was born! Got to bed at 4am, to be woken at 6am to the mrs having contactions!!!

     Worst Moment : Probably sitting OK stacked at Birmingham SPUKT... 1st hand into the money i think ok 1 double up iv got a good shot at final table... 1st hand i look at is AA, Cut-Offs goes all in i snap call obviously, he says oops i was stealing.. shows Q4... he makes a straight?!?!? ha ha, was to the eventual winner, fair do's a nice guy but what could of been???

    My best poker moment was in a $100,000 freezeout a few years back. I'd started off slowly but by the mid point was nicely placed in the top 20%. I then ran into a succession of monsters and was virtually wiped out. From a field of 1000+ we were down to about the last 100 or so and I had 400 chips left. I managed with a large degree of luck to get back into the tournament to eventually finish 3rd for $11,000. I played the final 2 tables as the shortstack but managed to survive.

    My worst moment was in the WCOOP $2million when after 9 hours and with 107 players left from a field of 3000+ my KK hole cards flopped KKx against the chip leader. He put me all-in post flop with pocket Aces then hit runner runner Aces. I lost my 63k stack and he went on to win the tournament. I picked up 2k and he picked up 400k. I felt devastated and didn't play for about 3 weeks after.
