Strange,

Ihmo, it would be better if everyone posted a picture from the replayer of the hand or something like that. It is easy to create a hand which you flop a set on a dry board and the villain hits runner runner quads. I am not saying that any of the hands are fake, but....

LOl, why should i fake hands?

The contest for the book is only for hands played this year and i said this is a hand i played at the end of last year

The hand was a bad beat, but also your reaction is...

Fair enough to supply proof, I'll give it a go for the €1500+150 Unibet Open Riga hand in december, as live's easier to prove with official blogging.

FWIW, I don't think any of these hands are fake. I did consider it though

What kind of proof do you need to be sure nobody is faking?

I think i can request Stars to give me the original HH of that speciffic date, but what can i do whit it to prove it?

Nah, not suggesting they're faked, but it's never a bad idea to provide backup where possible is all.

So therefore I'm not 100% sure this hand was played during 2012, but I'll throw it in with a "Disqualify as needed", but beaten bad I was!

I shouldn't have any problems proving that my hand is real. But as I said my badbeat is not from 2012 and I haven't had anything even close to that one since to share here.

I guess I've been playing poker quite a lot through the years because most of the hands seem pretty much everyday stuff to me. A few are really sick badbeats though.

tho it might not be from this year

From a mathematical point of view, this one gets my vote. Runner-runner only two cards in the deck (ignoring the possible runner-runner spade flush) is a 1 in 990 chance. That's like rolling double six twice in a row! Oooooooo!

Yeah, that one is sick, lol. I also like Solidius JJvs53 on J43.

Anyways GL to finalists!

I vote for fruktpuff.

GL to the finalist.

Prob I will order the book now myself wait for my birthday takes too long...... ♦ Can somebody tell me how long the shipping to Europe (Netherlands) takes??
