Hi,

just a little story that fits the topic more or less.

First time I took my best friend to a public cardroom to play limit holdem (although he has been playing NLHE at home for some time):

Game is 6 handed, two limpers (one from the button), my buddy folds his SB and I check with JsTs in the big blind. Flop comes AsKsAh. I like it, but I check. Both limpers check.
Turn is a beautiful Qs, giving me my first Royal Flush, but in a hand where no one seems to have hit anything! I check, hoping to get at least someone to bluff, but afraid I won´t make any money here. First limper bets! THere is a PokerGod! And he must love me, because the button raises!! I threebet it, limper calls, button caps it and I feel like I am in a movie now! River is capped again.

I win of course.

But the button is sort of pissed, cause his flopped quad As lose and there is no bad beat jackpot. Only a high hand JP, 150 for the As and 500 bucks for a Royal in Spades!

Still, I should have sat down in a $400-800 game, not a lousy $4-8!

After the excitement dies down, I tell my friend not to worry, usually top pair top kicker is good!

Hehehehe.

Greets, Erd.
