I've never seen the like of it

In our home game over the weekend one of my buddies caught a run of cards that left the rest of both spellbound and broke. In the space of 20 hands or so he caught (80% on the flop):
- 2 four of a kinds
- 4 full houses
- 1 nut flush
- 3 nut straights
- 5 three of a kinds
- the rest were either two pair or top pair

To see if his luck was running strong, we had him call a series of coin flips. He called the first five flips correctly (in the air). I am still in shock.

He should have gotten in a car and driven to the nearest casino or lottery sales location.

Oh, I've seen it happen at my home games too. I had AJ os, flop J 10 8 rainbow, guy goes all in, I call. He has 7-9os. Turn J, river A. Then in the same tournament, I catch runner runner full house again to beat the nut flush. That was some crazy luck.

Does he wear red sunglasses and insist on using HIS cards?

Man, it must have been something this weekend. In my home game it wasn't that crazy but just about. One of the players was hitting straights, flushes, and full boats ALL night. It got to a point where we were about 1/2 hour til we end usually and my friend was like, "let's stop I can't keep taking money from my friends like this." after this flop came out.

the flop came out 772??? He had 72o in the BB. It was sick. He cashed out with almost everyones moeny. It was sickening...

A friend in my game was playing in a $20 buy-in game with his brother-in-law and his friends. He ended up walking out up $600. He couldn't do wrong; he'd have an inside straight draw and no one would raise enough to make him worth being chased out and he'd hit it. He'd see a limped pot with 59o (they're sorta connectors) and hit the straight on the flop. Now granted this is more a story of what happens to bad players when a decent one comes to town but still he was telling me that it was like a 1 outer felt like a sure thing by the end of the night.

We tried to get him to go down to the casino to play some blackjack but his girlfriend stomped on that idea right away. I will be surprised if they are still together after Christmas.

While I've probably seen this a few times, the one time that stands out in my memory was an occasion about 20 years ago when this little old lady stepped up to a crap table in a Reno casino, and held on to the dice for over a 1/2 hour. When she finally crapped out, the entire table, including the dealers, stopped and applauded her.
