Originally the term "cold deck" was used to describe a rigged deck used to cheat players. It's common usage now is to describe improbable cards coming which beat hands, like flopped quad kings on a KKA flop with runner aces for another player's quad aces. I have been the victim of this for a couple of days.
Example 1. In the Omaha game Wednesday only one hand got really wild with a capped preflop kill pot with multiple players. The pot had to be at least $150 preflop. I held 10/10/xx, and the flop was 10/9/4 rainbow. With top set, in early position, I bet out and was called by two players or more. The turn was an ace, I bet and am called in two spots. The river, another ace for my tens full of aces. I am raised by one of the original preflop jammers. I call, he turns over A/9 for the back door overfull. Cold deck! He irritates me by saying, "but I flopped two pair (9/4)", with which he was drawing almost dead.
Example 2. I am playing in the morning tournament today and raise all-in on the button with 7/7 with one mid position limper. The blinds fold, and he calls for 3/4 of his chips. I say, "Nice call, pair?". Nope, K diamonds/J offsuit. Well, at least it is a coinflip situation. The flop? Ace/queen/10 of diamonds. WTF!!! Donk call and unbelievable flop for the straight, but wait, it gets better? At this point I am drawing dead anyway, but the turn brings the Jack of diamonds for the Royal Flush!!! Cold Deck, sir!!!!
Example 3. I am playing in 45 person SNG with 14 remaining. I raise all-in with AK red cards offsuit and am called by......AK black cards offsuit. Chop city coming, except for the 2 clubs on the flop. Yep, turn club, river club, I am gone due to .......THE COLD DECK!!!! I am so done with poker at least for the day.
