Hands like this often don't get talked because quite frankly with huge hands like quads or overfulls you probably aren't going win a big pot unless your opponent has something pretty strong himself or is a total donkey. Oh, next time you post a hand, include stack sizes.
Straight flushes fare a little better in this regard since it's not so obvious, so let's see...
I'm suprised the software allowed a raise to $0.15 - but I don't play at Prima so whatever. I'd probably toss in the nickel as you did, but if you were heads up, I'd actually just muck.
I have no comment on the flop - you were in a family pot and called with your big draw at great odds.
Your raise on the turn was weak - sure, you run the risk of chasing people out, but if you want to win a big pot, you need to build a big pot. The chances of someone having a flush here is very good. As played, since donkey was raising you $0.30 till kingdom come, why stop reraising? MP1 may have kept calling with the two of you.
The river was OK - you got SB all in - if he had the ace high flush, he likely would have moved in if you had raised a small enough amount for MP1 to call, then you could have played accordingly to goad another call from MP1 (maybe). That's a minor point though.
it's hard to misplay a straight flush.Statistics: Posted by Runner_Runner — Wed Jun 21, 2006 5:06 pm
