Just to keep the positive spirit on this forum and as a joyful contrast to Monk's frequent stack losses, I will report a hand that gave me a rather sickening feeling when I played it....until the chips went my way.

$50 PLO on PokerStars. I have about $50, Player A has me covered, player B has $35.
I get [7s][8c][9c] in mp and limp after 2 others. 4 see:

flop: [6h][8d].

Nut straight with absolutely no backup. In these cases I try not to invest too much on the flop and rather wait for a safe turn card before committing myself. BB checks, A bets $2, B raises pot. Since A has been loose and wild, I'm not necessarily giving him credit for the straight. Still, I flat call. Unfortunately, A reraises the max, and B calls allin. I'm fully expecting to up up against horrible redraws but call anyway.

turn: --- A and I put the last $12 or so in.
river:

Slightly nauseous I click to my other table, until I see that the pot is mine. What did they have? B had AK56, no hearts, for bottom two on the flop, and B had 899T, also no hearts and later said that he had misread the board... I should be playing on PokerStars more often...

He he lovely!

I love those hands where you can't POSSIBLY be ahead on the river and yet, the pot is pushed your way! By that same token, it also sucks when you get all in, the river can't POSSIBLY have hurt you and, oh yeah he had that nice backdoor gutshot draw giveth and taketh away I guess!
