Royal Flush

Like countless other blogs, here will be posted random musing on life, the universe and everything...well as long as the everything includes Films, Books, Motorcycles, Poker, Linux, Python and Dorset.

Woohoo!!!

I got dealt my first ever Royal Flush yesterday. I was playing a $5.50 NL Holdem STT on Pokerstars and was dealt Ks-10s. Qs and Js got dealt on the flop. I hung in hoping that a King High Flush would come out and would not get hit by an Ace High, as another player bet pretty heavily. Nothing on the turn, still kept hanging in and then IT happened. The Ace of Spades (cue Lemmy from Motorhead) came out on the river - pushed and the other player folded. Won 1000 points (which got me into the money in the end) and showed the cards to one response of 'Wow!'. Unfortunately it all happened so quickly that I did not manage to get a screenshot for future prosperity and i'm not sure the tournament hand review will list the hands - if it does I will post it here.

It is times like that which remind you why you play Poker.
