Well, I was dealt pocket deuces in the big blind and everybody else limped in, so I checked to see a free flop.

Flop came A A 2.

Well, suck me sideways. I got the 2nd nuts. I put out a little tester bet so that people won't be scared off. Nobody raises, and we move on.

Turn comes: another A

Hmm, ok. So my hand isn't that strong anymore. As long as other people don't have any pocket pairs or an A, I'm good. Since nobody raised the flop, I'm still confident in my hand. I bet and we move on.

River comes: another freaking A

FVCK FVCK FVCK!!! I now have the lowest possible hand. Any other hand will beat mine. I'm already kicking myself for not betting bigger and causing a fold on the flop. Small blind bets, and I have to immediately fold.

Well, there goes that opportunity.

Cliffs: your ducks got counterfeited. Happens all the time, which is one reason to generally stay away from playing small pairs like 2's or 3's. Even if you get lucky and hit a set, there's a real possibility you could get in big trouble.

Incidentally, while I don't think most online games are rigged, I am convinced that online games tend to have more "unusual" hands than you tend to see in real life casinos or tournaments. For example, I've never seen a royal flush in a real tournament or casiono, but I've seen a few online.

You flopped the 3rd nut not the 2nd. Still, that's poker. How much did you lose even?

I watched a guy flop a Royal at Monte Carlo in January.

I've seen two guys that had the top and bottom end of a straight flush in the same hand at Binions.

I think the only thing I haven't seen in a live poker room (or online) is quads over quads. I know it happened in the main event this year, but I haven't seen it.

It happens. It's poker. There's no difference between what happens online and what happens in a casino or live game.

It's the 2nd nuts. The nuts are either AA or A2.

What part of this math are you not getting? The nuts are AA, that's not equivalent to A2

1st: AA
2nd: A2
3rd: 22

You played the hand like a clueless amateur. Your lack of skill is not "just your luck". You got the result you deserved.

You idiot. If someone had an A2, they have the nuts since nobody else can have AA.

your hand was weak by the time the 3rd ace came out. if there were more than two other people left to see the river, you're a bad poker player

nuts on the flop = quad 4s (AA hole cards)
second nuts = Aces full 2 (A2 hole cards)

His hand sucked from the start. His true sign of idiocy wasn't being unable to count to 3, it is hanging around with 2-2. That's an awful hand and since everyone else is going to have 2 overcards the worst you can do is be in a race with the entire table. That's almost a guaranteed loser. With everyone limping in you DO NOT take the free flop since you go from a likely favorite to a big underdog. You FREAKING RAISE. Scare out the idiots looking to catch. That hand could not have been played worse if a blind retarded monkey was holding the cards and moving chips around randomly. Rather than understanding that he lacks sense, poker skills and math knowledge and looking to improve, the OP is blaming his luck. He'll be a crappy player forever if he refuses to learn from his unending stream of mistakes.

Sorry, but A2 = nuts

If I had A2 with a board of AA2, then nobody else could have AA (only four A's in the deck). Therefore, A2 is the nuts.

You said you were dealt pocket deuces...

Or did this deck have five Aces?

Board: AA2AA
Your hole: A2

= 5 Aces
