Stupidest hand I've ever won
This was played at a 0.25/0.5 $50 buy-in NL live game in a college dorm. There are 4 players at the table.

I'm dealt K - 4 of spades in the small blind. CO folds, button limps, I raise to $2, BB and button both call. 3 to flop.

Flop comes 2 - 2 - 2. Checks all around with many laughs

This is where it gets funkier. The dealer accidentally exposes the burn card, which is the king of clubs. This is terrible until he flips over the turn card which is the king of hearts. I bet 2$ (1/3 pot). BB folds, button calls.

The river is none other than the king of diamonds. Since the burn card had been exposed, it meant I had the lone king in the deck. The board is now 2 - 2 - 2 - K - K with a known burnt king.
Everybody is in shock, so I shove $30 into a $10 pot. Button insta calls. I show him the terrible news.
Good thing he didn't have the lone 2.

Don't keeps us in suspense -- not that it matters -- but what did he have?

when I saw the river paired the board, I was resigning myself to half the pot and a bit worried about getting only a quarter of it.
I hadn't noticed until I went to post this that I had the straight flush

Nut-Nut

We all know that in hi/lo games, the goal is to play to scoop, ideally making something called nut-nut, which gives us the nuts for both the hi and the lo pot. Usually, this is achieved by combining a wheel straight with some kind of flush, or possibly a full house. One particularly spectacular example would be a steel wheel, of course, which is a straight flush from A to 5.

This one is another interesting case, where the ace on the river happened to give us both the broadway for nut hi and the best possible low - but sadly no wheel, which would have made it even cooler.

Some run good on 200€ husng shot from today.

Was 20/40 with me having 880 and villain 1120. Villain limp, I check and get awesome flop. Pretty mandatory x-r imo as we don't block any draws or Kx. Deeper stacked I suppose calling would be fine but can easily triple barrel this on good amount of runouts.

So villain bet 40, I raise to 120, bet 200 on turn and shove 520 on river. Obviously I were thrilled to get it in especially if no heart comes and board doesn't pair in nasty way. Well even if heart does come I would tend to barrel especially if it's on river. I mean I can still have busted straight draws that could be bluffed some portion of time and I think Kx tend to be quite sticky. Quite a OMG moment on showdown though...

Bit later got AA versus 4bb shove. Villain had AQ. Did bring some chances with Qxx flop and bd fd for villain.
