I am at a loss for something witty to write tonight… so I thought I would write about my addiction and my favorite poker win ever!
Back in December (the 18th to be exact… I remember this because it was my birthday…) we went down to Cortez, Colorado. There is an Indian Casino out there and they have a whopping 2 poker tables. The lead up to this could take a million years, so I will make a long story short.
I was in the Big Blind… 5 bucks already committed to the pot… I was dealt a 6 and 7 of spades… A suited connector… my weakness. The first and second to act folded. The next to act raised the max of 5 bux. I was in for 5 already so I called after a few other calls and folds.
The flop (first 3 cards) were dealt. I was in complete shock to see the 3, 4 and 5 of spades. That made a straight flush!!! The first to act bet 5, the next to act raised 5… it was 10 for me to call… but I raised another 5… the other 2 people in the hand called.
I can’t even remember what the turn card was… but it didn’t matter. The betting went the exact same… 5, raise 5, reraise 5.
The River was another card that didn’t matter. The betting… 5… raise 5… reraise 5… and then raised 2 more times. I was thinking that the first to act probably had the Ace and something else of spades and the 2nd to act probably had some lower spades but couldn’t lay them down.
The dealer called for us to turn over our hole cards. The guy with the Ace couldn’t wait to turn over his cards… the 2nd to act had a King and some other spade.
I said "Boys… you are gonna love this!" , flipped over my straight flush and raked in the $120 pot. It was beautiful!!
Now I get to go play pool… another favorite of mine and I am in a league. Have a good one my friends!!
