Wow! Way to go capnrod. You are now the top worst play of all time. You call the turn raise with a gutshot that is very likely to be counterfeited. Then, when the gutshot hits, you put in your whole stack when you have every other possible holding beat except for someone holding an ace, which is pretty likely, who will automatically call because they have the nuts. Why bet your stack? I can't call that with two pair. I can't call that with a 89 for that matter. I can't call that with a set.

Yes, capnrod is going to be immortalized. He, like no other, has grabbed hold of a very rare opportunity in poker. It happens so infrequently that it takes a truly unique individual to see the amazing possibilities of the situation. Yes, it is true. He was able to get all his money in there when EVERY hand that he has beat will fold and EVERY hand that beats him will call!

This feat of bravery may never be topped!

When he pushed in I remember being slightly irritated. I couldn't believe that he was pumping up the rake on this split pot so much. I called and changed my view to check on another table without even watching the results. I had to go back to the hand history to figure out why the stacks were so out of whack on my return.

... maybe he thought that a six card straight beats a five cards straight... who knows.
