I’m talking about the list under Hands → Biggest Pots
For me, the lowest ranking hand I’ve won a biggest pot with is a Pair of Aces
Worst doesn’t have to mean lowest rank though - feel free to share a hand you think you played terribly and just happened to get lucky too.
You have me beat…AAA
If you win a big pot with just a pair in Omaha you’ve probably done something wrong - but it’s funny that your top set there is actually the nuts, so I don’t think that counts as a worst hand either.
Very good question and could have been beat many different ways. I’ll bet everyone has been very lucky at times if they check.
The lowest ranking hand I’ve won a biggest pot is with a pair of 6’s
My number 1 was a pair of queens but it was the winning hand of a tournament. 3,224,142 Chips in fact 6 of my top 10 biggest pots were from that same tournament. Think it was an American league MTT with a 50k starting stack. Unfortunately the replay isn’t loading.
Yeah, I don’t think it really means much, and even less if you play mostly tournaments, it’s still interesting to consider. I noticed that @Litenin’s best hand for a biggest pot was only 2 pair. I wonder if that’s a record for the worst best hand in someone’s biggest pots list.
Pair of 2s I can’t get anything to replay, hand 715913560
Some hands seem to Replay fine - most recent ones for example - but most old ones do not work for me either (although some do). Something is definitely broken.
My worst is QQ 5th biggest pot
My biggest pot is 2 pair in Omaha, bottom 2.
Interesting hand here
Just looked—won a little over 2 million chips in a ring game with K’s
Yep, my big win with K’s will not re-play.
In the current list - a pair of fives for 5560 chips. Somewhere along the line I had won a huge pot with 3’s.
Hand # 1277081726
My worst from my list
Two Pair, Tens and Eights 42,633,642 Chips Rain Hand #1215100081
I can’t get the link to work either, but the hand number in search bar does. I won with AQ high & 66 on board, one pair.
I’m assuming the jam was because you had the lo and were pretty surprised to win hi?
@Litenin If you just paste links in they wont work, if you use the Link button on the toolbar and add it in that way it will give a valid link. Some hands open the replayer but get stuck loading - it doesn’t matter how you try and open those hands.
Exactly. 100% of my top ten big pots are tournaments, and basically final table hands from the same 3 or 4 tournaments that happened to use large chip stacks. None of them I would consider bad plays. Even the one that I won with A-high was like AK vs AJ brick board or something, so I really have nothing to offer here. One of them was a pair of 8s I guess, but again, final table all-in situation with huge stacks simply because the chip stacks which have absolutely nothing to do with the meh 20k buy-in.
Oh, I would expect that winning a big pot with a weak hand is just about always going to be a very good play, not a bad one.
What prompted the topic was that @bill8888 mentioned that his power went out when he had top boat on an A22 flop, which seems like a tragedy at first, until you realize you’re probably not winning a big pot in that situation anyway.
I thought it might be interesting for people to look at the hands that actually win them the most important pots, and in that respect tournament hands are probably more revealing.
A bit of a spitball, but low and two-pair has worked very well in my 40+ years of playing OHL. The all-in pushes out the other 2 pair players, and Bob’s your uncle. And of course there are the times you get quartered, but hey, no risk, no reward. As I stated before, I made a straight flush wheel in a live game and received 1/6 of the pot in OHL, the game is not for the weak.
HMMMM-it was a small cash game-2 donks at the table who called my pre-flop raise----i was hoping one had 7-2:)…Your right, i most likely would only won what was in the pot—That is one of the reasons i do not play big games online ( i do not trust ANY site for my big money, i like looking at a person when playing 2 get a read and darn power going out lol )…
