This is a story that happened to me in a 3-6 side game. This was one of the most amazing coincidences I've ever seen, in or out of a poker game. It was about 5 am and most of us have been playing since about 8 pm. The game was close to breaking up, as we were down to five people. To set this up, let me first tell you about earlier in the night. All night i had been getting dealt 5 3. I of course would fold it preflop.
Almost everytime, I would have hit huge on the flop. I'm talking 2 pair, trips, straights, boats. Anything you can imagine. So fast forward back to 5 am. Everyone folds to the small blind, and he looks at his hole cards and mucks his cards face up. He turns over 2 7, and says, "I am so sick of 2's, i can't get a good hand all i get dealt are 2's." I laugh and say, "2's suck, but if you get dealt 5 3 play it." And i procede to tell them about how the 5 3 would have treated me all night.
As i am telling the story, the dealer is dealing out the next hand. When it comes to Mr. 2 on the button, he looks at his hole cards and says "Unfucking believable" and throws 3 5 face up into the muck. Everyone at the table is laughing hard, and it actually stops the game for about a minute while everyone calms down. Action comes to the big blind and he checks his option. This is where it gets insane.
The flop comes down A 2 4! The table loses it, and everyone is jumping around, laughing and causing a giant scene. I personally laughed so hard i cried. I think that was the last hand of the night, because after something like that no one could concentrate on poker anymore.
