(from my blog)

Ok, earlier this week I was involved in a small stakes game with 4 other players. Not much going on other than a little trash talk and a whole lot of folding. Then I decided to “gamble” a little by opening with Kd Jd in early position. I got the BB to call.

Flop = 9s Ad Qd. Not bad huh? BB leads out, I call.

Turn = Ac. Not happy with this, but I still have a big draw. BB bets out, and I call.

River = 10d. WOO F-ING HOO!!!!!!!! BB bets out, and I raise him and pray he has a boat or even better, rockets. He tanks for a while and finally calls. Again, this was a “micro-limit” short handed game and the total pot was about $40, but I still hit my ROYAL! Second one for me and as big of a thrill as making a final table at the WSOP-C event last year.

LOL.... sweet, no matter the stakes.


Fix needed on flop or river (10d).


Got a straight flush playing suited small cards, got paid off by the A-flush and a dope. Was quite the thrill.

thanks for the catch. corrected flop.
