I know it looks bad, but check/raising this small pot on the end is arguably the right play (although we have no idea of his intentions).

You do realize he flopped the nuts, right?

Now if Party offered a sizable Royal Flush bonus this might be a different story.

Huh?

I know about the whole 'NC' thread, but jeebus look at this. This at least let me laugh as I threw off 40BB tonite.

Last time I checked, that was a royal flush...

Re: The worst played hand . . . ever.
 

royal flush is just a fancy name for ace high straight flush.

Re: The worst played hand . . . ever.
 

The villan didnt want to bet because he was almost sure he would have no callers and prob not get a chance to draw to the royal which he hit, prob his first time

Re: The worst played hand . . . ever.
 

I played against a guy last night who let the flop, turn and river all check through when his QTo in the SB flopped QQQ. I thought that was pretty goddamn bad...

Re: The worst played hand . . . ever.
 

You've all got it wrong. There was a perfectly logical reason why he didn't bet the flop or turn.

While he merely had an Ace high flush with the king kicker, it was possible that someone out there could have the Jack and nine of hearts, giving that person a straight flush draw if the 8 of hearts came on the turn or the river.

So the only safe play was to wait until the river to bet. Then he executed what was to be a brilliant checkraise, only to be foiled when his opponents poor play messed it all up.

(this is the dumbest thing ive ever heard) Ill cap that hand, and surely my larger sf draw is much better than the j9 scenario, note: I hope ur being sarcastic)

Ive been at tables before where people checked through HU for a royal draw, people want to hit it sometime, and if ur raising and villan has total [censored] u just killed the opp.

I'm 100% certain that's sarcasm. I got a cheap laugh out of it.

I've really got to wonder what the guy was thinking, at the very least on the river.

Maybe he had that thing which shows other players whole cards
