I wanted to tell you about my one hand last night in my $22 sng (limit hold em). I got 10s in the bb. (8 people still in the tourney – level is at 100/200 – blinds 50/100) UTG makes it two bets to go and almost everyone calls. I think about raising, and because everyone is still in there, I make it 3 bets. I get about 5 callers. I’m thinking “what the hell do all of you have?” – but I’m also thinking a bunch of aces and kings are out there so I may be in good shape.

Flop comes down 10s-10d-Qs. I check and everyone must have had bet/raise any pushed because it was capped when it got back around to me. I have quads for christ’s sake. So of course I’m in.

Turn gives a Jh. I check and as you might expect it is capped again before it gets to me. Now I’m pretty sure someone has queens and maybe someone has jacks and someone has to have AK. So as long as another Q or a Js doesn’t come up, I’m golden.

River is 3s. Naturally I check and all hell breaks loose again. So it’s pretty much capped with 4 all-in (some people didn’t have enough to call the last bet) – I call. Mind you I’ve never had to raise except for pre-flop (which apparently everyone forgot).

The hands these guys turn over were quite amazing. QQ, JJ (both had full house), AA (don’t really know what this guy was thinking), and (AK – spades no less – rivered the nut flush but had a gutshot royal – too bad JJ was holding his only out). I still can’t figure out why AA and AK and QQ didn’t cap it pre-flop – maybe they thought they were laying a trap or something…

So my chip stack goes from approx 3000 to over 12,000. Needless to say I ran over the rest of the folks quite easily. I raised every blackjack hand and picked up the blinds so many times it was hilarious (all because there were only 4 left and the remaining 3 wanted to make it in the money).

Truly a good experience. All because of a dream flop.
