5 Aces? LOLOLOLOL!

I got this link from the Full Tilt forum. This has to be the longest post in the history of the internet.

http://www.pokerroom.com/pokah/forum/in ... dNumber=98

The original poster claims to have gotten 5 aces twice in his life playing a standard game of texas holdem. Obviously this is quite impossible but reading some of the replies there are a few out there who not only believe this to be true but also claim to have gotten this hand themselves in a game that included no wildcards. This has to be some kind of elaborate experiment to find the fishiest fish that ever were. The guy even quotes Sklansky to back up his claim. ROFLMAO!

I think my favorite reply was "This message was deleted by Pokah! Administrator..."

My fav has to be "And if you do choose to name yourself after
a genie, at least spell it properly. (Alladdin)" LOL.

You have to remember the fundamentals of
Hold Em. In this game, there are 5 community
cards "the board" that everyone shares. So if I
have an ace or two of my own, and I am sharing
with the rest of the players in the hand, it is
possible to have more than 4 aces. You have
to have at least 3 aces on the board for anyone
to have 5 aces though. No trick decks and no
jokers, just a very rare situation!!! Good
Luck!!!

About 20 pages in, he explains how het got 5 7s the previous night. He claims to have had 72, with the board showing 77K77.

Mick32 - Please let this be the last post, I am so sick and tired of arguing with you rubes!! For the last time, I know that there are only 4 Aces in a deck, everybody knows that and thats not what we are arguing about. The statement that I am making is that in a game with community cards, since you are using the same cards as everybody else, it makes possible 5 of a kind. Remember people, you are SHARING 5 cards!! I cant remember the exact hand that I had when I got 5 aces, but I believe the board was something like A-5-7-A-A. The suits are irrelevant, as 5 of a kind will beat a flush, even if it was out there. Once again, I will reference chapter 12 in Sklansky Advanced Hold-Em book for a more indepth analysis.

burly9 - thanx mick. i do have an open mind and will ck your reference. ive been known to be wrong a time or 2,....burl

ColinB - I give up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ronforiel - Royal flush beats 5 of a kind any day.
Nice 'tache. Do the Village People miss you?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MikeyMcD1 - I'm guessing the ace of squares, green.

I can't believe this discussion has perpetuated this long . . .

Gamblor07 - There is no such card as the ace of squares. Unless you're playing with a trick deck or something, but you'll be kicked out of the casino if you do that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

roarster - ok, Mick, so say I play you and you hit 5 aces. Tell me what the flop, turn and river are, and also tell me what your pocket cards are. Maybe then I will be able to piece together your madness.

testies - yes you will

testies - it is probably for real

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

jasonHoldEm -Will this thread ever die?

kill it...kill it now!

Mick32 - I cant believe that someone would actually suggest that this post should be killed. This infuriates me almost to the point of removing my robe!! After all this post has done so much for so many. Not only have I enlightened all of you and brought you to a new poker playing level, Level 32, but I have received things in return as well, my new friends Aladdin and Skeen!! Long Live the Greatest Post by the Greatest Player Ever!!

WTF?!?!?! Is that shit for real? Did that really happen? LOL. I can't imagine battling my way to the final table of an obviously huge tourney and then having my "buyin and entry fee refunded" cuz of a software glitch. How old is that? Has this happened before or since? Or is this some wiseass with photoshop havin a lil fun?
