One of my best memories is from the first event of the WSOPE 2008. After 2-3 days of playing it was finally down to 4 or maybe 5 tables. I was shortstacked and pushed allin with 22 in early position. It got folded around to Jesper Hougard (who later went on to win the event) who peeked at his card and immediately started playing with his chips. I got convinced right away that he has AA 100% as he was doing a very poor acting job trying to convince everyone he is weak to get more callers. At last he just flat called and everyone else quickly folded. At this point, I was so calm and sure that I was going to win that Ive never ever felt that way before. So I immediately looked to him (Jesper) and said "I know you have AA, but you are behind, you need to get lucky". He (and some other players) looked at me with surprise, then he turned over his AA and I turned over 22. "There will be a 2 on flop" I said. Of course there was a 2 on the flop, the turn was irrelevant and then I said "I know whats coming, its a 6 of clubs on river now". And of course, boom, exactly 6 of clubs on river also. Everyone jumped out of surprie and Andy Bloch (who also sat at my table) turned to me while laughing and said "If you are that good you dont even need cards to win". It was just really funny and sick at such important part of the tourney.

My best pokermemory is:
I was playing at Pokerheaven and this time they had a monthly freeroll for 50 most raked person. And the winner of the tournament was awarded with a prize of 900€ and with a bonus HU tournament against last months winner with a 200€ prize, they also promised 1000€ if any player would win the bonus heads up tournament 3 times in a row.

So, I managed to do all that and won 900€ +200€ +200€ +200€ +1000€. that was big boost for my bankroll since I my normal stakes were nl50.


My worst poker memory happened about 6 months after that, I was taking a crazy shot to NL1000 with 5k bankroll (normally nl50-nl100)

There was a crazy turkish fish around.
I got dealt AA and I reraise his 40 to 200, the flop comes KT3 and we go allin there, he shows AQ and the river hits.
I remember losing that 2000€ pot felt like I can never play poker again and I should hang myself or so... Whatever now its just funny
