i just remembered a story from the other night. it happened early on in my session. a guy who had recently sat down and bought in for only $100 (a full buy-in at 2/3 NL is $300), had played maybe 1 hand and hadn't gotten very involved yet.
there was a limper then an early position standard raise and he went all in over the top in late position. the total bet was $88, which was $73 more than the initial EP's raise. everyone folded back to the initial raiser. but apparently the late position all-in guy forgot the initial raiser was still in the hand and tabled his cards face up: pocket JJ. the raiser saw this and thought for a second, and said, "i'll give you action. i call." we expected to see AQ or AK. he tabled his hand face up as well and we couldn't believe what we saw. KJ offsuit.
merry christmas guy. the pocket Jacks held up for the biggest gift of $88 i have ever seen.
[well, the hand from bay 101 where a guy tried to 4 bet the flop with 1 pair of AA was a nice little bonus for me, but at least he had an overpair.]

I guess he decided to gamble a little bit as $160 is magic break-even number - betting $73 into the $111 pot or 1.52:1 money for a 2.2:1 dog on the cards.
