Re: Share your biggest suckout win.
It was a Royal Flush caught on the last card... Mirage 10/20 Nov. 1 1999, 7 Card Stud.
I've been trying to remember the details for years.
Started with 3 black face cards... 2 flush clubs... all over cards to the board. Wish I could remember them. (Had only been playing about 1 year at that point.
Caught another king I think, to make it what looked like an overpair...and 3 flush.
Caught the 4th flush card.
Caught another spade.
On the river caught a Queen of Clubs to complete the royal.
At first I thought "Oh good, got the flush!"
Anyway the opponent had a hidden full house...
We got into an on end raising war heads up. Because opponent was a lady I capped at about 3 raises.
Raked in about $650 pot.
Talk about your suck outs.
Dealer says, "Want the Royal Flush Prize"?
I say, "Sure, what is it?"
Dealer, "Money clip and cigarette lighter".
Me: "Great!"
Floor brings over a pack of Mirage matches with a rubber band wrapped around it!
The cards were running all over me that night. Still ended up loosing!
Proof positive that better opponents can still get your money at times.
Anyway, lesson learned. Went back to my usual 5/10. Didn't play 10/20 for quite some time after that. Realized I was absolutely a fish against the local 10/20 crowd at that time.
Sincerely,
AA
