I'm quiet tied up at work - but a few extra notes:

- I did notice the possible Strait if someone was holding a 10 / J when the King had come out... but because they were so willing to only 'call' the bets and not beginning raising on that hand (which they usually do if they get a strait) - I felt 'fairly comfy' that no one had a 10 / J in their belt (though now seeing the hands - it is scary they ALL had a pocket J... just no 10 to go with it :D)

- This only left the possibility of someone having a pair of Pocket K's (but once again - no raise from the NPC's led me to believe (espically after that K showed up) that no one had a pair... so I pushed forward...

Of course.... it IS called a game of chance! This could of all went south very quick - but when the computer is willing to hand over over 45000 gold - I'll take it :D

Whoa, nice take max. I have been in same hands like that, usually works out Eric there also has a queen with that ace high, lol.

biggest pot ive ever seen!!!!!

as said before ... and needs repeating...

HOLY COW!!

Nice haul! Congrats!

Well done!!

HOLY COW and HOLY COW and my friend HOLY COW futhermore HOLY COW and in conclusion HOLY COW.
that is the biggest pot i have ever seen the most i have ever won would be 20k and it was luck.
say are you part irish by any chance...:laughks2:

the best way to give gold is keep raising until they all fold, then bet to get to the ammount that you want to get, then if they keep calling then call till they fold then once again bet till you get to the ammount you get... hope i helped

Well, that was what I was trying to do (pirate gold swapping after four pirates is pretty basic stuff :) ) In this case though the players did not want to quit - so when I got the hand and the cards you see in the pic I played it - and just got lucky enough to win D:
