While playing 2-3-5 NL last night, I had two interesting hands where AK flopped a K and the nut flush draw. I was on both sides of it.
1: Five people call, and I call in the BB for $5 more with Qs8s. Flop comes KsTs4s. Here's hoping nobody has the nuts.... Marvin, agressive but tight with big raises, checks to me. I bet $30 into the $60 pot. Folded to Marvin, who check-raises $100 more. I instantly push in my $600 stack, and he calls, saying, "My ace is the only out," which apparently means he has a flush draw.
He turns over AsKd for top pair top kicker nut flush draw. He doesn't get there, and I double up.
2: I have AsKs (note the spade theme). Overly aggressive player who is running really good tonight opens for 40. Sam B calls right behind, and I make it $200, slightly overbetting the pot. Aggro player thinks for a while, and calls. Sam folds.
Flop comes KdJs6s. I hit well. He checks, I bet $300. He sits for a little bit and calls. Turn is 8d, he checks. I hesitate and check behind. River is 7c, he checks, I turn my hand over. He stares at it, grumbles, and turns over JJ for a set.
