So I was playing heads up microstakes with a friend last night and we were enduring a spell of getting absolute trash hands - the 72o type where it's just better to give up your BB and re-deal or barely playable hands that miss the flop so bad you're just waiting to fold. My friend commented that we were both pretty card dead at the moment, to which I joked "Don't worry, it'll be AK v KQ next." Well, he shuffled, dealt, and I think you know where I'm going with this.
I looked down at AK and said "Wow, what a coincidence," at which he laughed. I was playfully trying to mess with him, because it's the type of thing I'd have said if I'd have got dealt anything, just to get in his head, but I actually had it.
He raises, I 3-bet and we finally go to the flop with a decent pot.
I couldn't believe it when I hit 2 pair on the flop, and there was no way he was believing I had AK after I'd "predicted it" and did my "what a coincidence routine" so he happily called my more or less pot sized bet. And he had his reason to.
Well, the board ran out and he continued to call everything I threw at him, then re-raised me on the river. I couldn't believe it when we flipped.
