First Straight Flush!!
By Mr_Taterhead on September 19th, 2007 (more posts by author)

I have been playing poker since I was in high school and tonight I finally had a straight flush in a cash game. Talk about the all time action killers. Just take a look at this beauty. My heart fell to the floor when the turn peeled off. The initial raiser said he had the Ac after the hand was over. Did I bet to much on the river or was it ok. Im thinking I should have raised the turn. I just wanted to get a little more value out of such a pretty hand.

Oh I posted a winner tonight in only 150 hands. I just didnt feel like I was on my game for some reason.

Getting only a little action is better than getting a lot of action from the T[c], yes?

Edmond is always one to speak the truth. But you're right BJ, the turn was a total action killer! I hate that it happened on your first str8 flush. Oh well, I guess you'll be back to flopping sets again... poor guy!

It's still a good feeling to get a sr8t flush. I have only had 1 Royal and it didn't pay, but I was able to show it and that was good enough. Hope you get paid on the next one and NH!
