Rarities in the Game of Poker:
Category: Gratis Poker
The possibilities of hands and situations that playing poker can create are numerous, and some of these circumstances do not come around very often at all. the most obvious hand that you hardly ever see is the royal flush, because the probability of a player making the hand is so low.
In many ways, you could say that making a royal flush is not the most favourable of situations in the game, and although that sounds crazy, the reason I say that is because you will usually have the cards held in your hand that would interest an opponent in callig sizeable bets. One of what I would call the most profitable and rare situations to be in, happened to me recently and it was unfortunate that I had reraised heavily and forced my opponent out before it had a chance to happen.
After searching through the cards after my opponent had folded, we saw that his (A,9) would have hit a wonderful flop of (A,A,7). I breathed a sigh of relief as I had been holding (K,K), but as we flipped the turn and river that would have been, I was astounded to see (K) then another (K) fall after the flop. Needless to say, with the top full house, there would have been no escaping his fate for my opponent had he called and seen the flop.
Such situations are very rare which cause a player to be in a lethal hand, as usually with poker, you will not be in such a strong position that you cannot fold, and still be beaten. Whether you are the victim of such a rare hand however, or indeed the victor, remember that these are the hands that make poker the exciting and unpredictable game that it is, and you will have a hand you will remember for a very long time.
