Well in our monthly poker game I got the worst beat imaginable. Over $350 in the pot pre flop and I have aces and other guy has kings. Guy who put a lot of money in the pot said he had king queen suited before folding. Flop comes 2, 7, 8 rainbow, so dude has one card in the deck that he can win on. Wanna guess what comes on the river!!
So losing to a true one outer is about as bad as it gets in poker, except for runner runner hands after the flop...
But of course that is not crazy or particularly unusual. It has happened to me several times, I have seen it several times, and in spite of the odds of it happening it is quite common for poker players to have these kind of stories...
As for real crazy shit, I guess having my eventual wife just show up at my doorstep in the middle of nowhere one day, after I had already made my peace with being single the rest of my life. Now that is some crazy shit, and beats the odds of a one outer any day!!!
Back in the days of nickel ante Sat night pokers and too many beers --
Bro-in-law used to read up or make up silly games, often split pots to keep every one in.
One night he called a low ball game. I was known for staying in waaayy too long. Nobody was bumping, so I stayed in with suited royals and damn me if I didn't draw to a Royal Flush. The only one I have ever seen in a game.
