Had this wonderful hand today (on Paradise Poker) - especially as I won it!
I will list it from the opponents point of view - makes it more exciting!
On a $10 NL table - so more for the excitement than the money.
Hero is SB - I am button.
Hero is dealt: 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif
First in calls.
Second in has pre-posted.
All fold to me and I call.
Hero calls.
Flop: [7/images/graemlins/spade.gif 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif]
An almost dream flop for him. Flush plus open-ended straight-flush draw!
He bets $0.50 (low value table)
Folded to me and I call.
Turn: 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif
Hero's dream has come true.
Decides to check-raise.
But I check too; so no bets on the turn.
River: J/images/graemlins/spade.gif
We now have a flush on the table and hero has a straight flush.
Hero bets $2.20
I raise to $4.40
Hero raises all-in $11.10
I call all-in $6.65 (pity I didn't have more)
He shows his 6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif for a straight-flush 4-8
I show T/images/graemlins/spade.gif 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif for a straight-flush 7-J!!
First time I have ever seen two straight-flushes come up like that.
Collected $22.45, Net $10.80
Pity is wasn't a $100 dollar game.
We each thought that the other had A flush Ace high.
In fact, had he pushed it on the turn I may have folded.
