Most Memorable Hand

[Bawse]

Do you have a hand you remember more than others?

For me, it's around the time I first started playing online poker(only 14 years old). I turned freeroll dollars, into $2k+ in one week on FullTiltPoker, and lost it all in one hand JJ vs AA. All in preflop.

I literally just sat at a live cash table. One dude had racked up. Had 29 loose dollars and threw them in pre flop. I called with 55 and a few other players called. I flopped middle set, turned fives full of deuces and he double me up trying to ring me over. He left pretty pissed

That's indeed an unforgettable hand and going from freeroll to $2k+ in a week is so impressive. I know how tough it would be to lose all to pocket aces. Poker is tough, man!

It's like losing it all faster than you won it. I wouldn't have slept for days if I had the same experience of losing $2k+ in a day.

I punched a hole in my mom's wall, she wasn't happy.

That's the main reason I don't play cash games, you can lose your bankroll fast, even with bankroll management. Tournaments are a longer grind.

And if you try to force hand yourself to play more and win to cover for the loss, you're going to keep losing more and more.

100%. You're way more likely to tilt when forcing moves, and playing above your bankroll/limits.

I recall a hand where I have a straight flush draw, and was beaten by a player who made a royal flush. It was a bad beat and that's why I find it very difficult to forget.

Exactly. It's why I consider being able to know when to stop as a very good skill for any poker player.

Knowing when to stop is also good for poker players. It assists you in not losing too much money. This is a common problem among many players. But if one learn how to stop at the right time, it's probably the best.
