Forthe stacks he was playing was a normal prize for a big pot, for sure much better pa~yed than the stacks he usually plays, but too risky for his bankroll too.
congrats iam sure it was a good booost for you BR hehehehehe.

Congratulations sir, swedens are really talented at playing poker, pot limit omaha especially It's just a personal observation, but one thing is clear, pot limit omaha is a much more complex game than it looks at the first hand, i mean you definately need to know then to raise, even though the board looks dry
I still have couple of extra questions: On which poker platform did you played this hand?? The stakes was 0.50/1 $ considering the first raise that was dne at the table of 3.50
Also since this wasn't the biggest pot that you've won in time(you said you won bigger ones with quads) could you also post that hand too, on no limit holdem quads is something very rare but on pot limit omaha they must be more frequent

That sure is a hell of a pot. I'm trying to raise money to buy a new microwave, I think that would do the trick .
My biggest pot was around 50$, but it's a lucky bad story. In a very bad night (I play .05 .10) I did what we shouldn't do that was trying to recover a night of bad beats in the limit above. I didn't find a place at .1 .2 so I went to .25 .5 with 25$, when I played my first hand, the guy in SB called my K 8 and the flop was something like x K 8. I doubled my money in the only hand I played. Don't try to do this at home

Definitely a nice pot there, and way, way, way bigger than my biggest which is a lowly old $25 or so. Two things workin' against me there are: I don't usually play cash games and I have a low roll.

Since everyone posted a personal experience and the biggest pot, i thought to add my biggest pot too, it was a 73 dollars pot, in fact a three way pot at full tilt poker, rush poker to be more precise, the hand was won after going all in post flop wth pocket aces on a dry flop, the other two had poket kings and queens
Oh, and it was at NL10, so it's a really big pot for these limit but all three of us had over 200 big blinds stack, so it was a really nice hand to play. I still have th hand since it was recorded by holdem manager, so i think i'll post it if i can find it
Good luck to all, we really need to see other big pots at the tables won by mobsters
