can anyone seriously believe that I hit the royal flush AND BLOODY CHECKED !!!

The occasion must have got to me because its the first one I've ever had, so I got so excited I think I just hit the first button I thought of..

next time you have the nuts, bet.

#3 8th July 2008, 5:25 AM

After saying well done, my opponent suddenly asked why I hadnt bet at the showdown..

I just couldnt answer. I didnt even realise I hadnt bet

#4 8th July 2008, 5:49 AM

if ya bet he folds?
always nice to show it down....lol

#5 8th July 2008, 7:07 AM

Good hand all the same

#6 8th July 2008, 7:44 AM

Nice hand, It was probably the shock of hitting the Royal, would have been a nice screenshot if the 8 was a heart also.
You should have hit the all in as your opponent obviously thought he had the nuts.

#7 8th July 2008, 4:27 PM

I can't imagine he would have called any river bet you made with 94 so no harm no foul (although, he might have bluffed at the royal & come over top of you if you had made a smallish bet).

#8 8th July 2008, 4:45 PM

I agree, I, and I think almost anyone else, would have folded!

#9 8th July 2008, 5:11 PM

Yeah, if you had bet he would have almost certainly folded with 9 high facing that board. Even with his str8 potential that flush board is too scary for me to risk much on. You probably got all you were going to get out of him anyway, unless he was a total fool. In fact he would probably laid down had you more than min-bet the turn. I'll usually call a min-bet at those levels if I have any sort of draw, but with a flush board like that I wouldn't have called anything past the turn.

I hit a RF in a live game last week, have yet to hit one online. Congrats!

#10 8th July 2008, 5:48 PM

Actually, looking over the hand again, I'm not even sure why he called the turn unless he was planning a check-raise bluff on the river or hoping to suck out a flush board chop.

I've had one Royal flush in my days, but never ever seen a 6 card straight flush.

Did you ask him why he called your turn bet?

Whole hand is terrible - bet the flop for F*** sake and build the pot - if they haven't hit part of that flop they are NEVER going to call you, so build the pot up NOW.
