OK, I am not that good but I thought this was quite a good trap.

See what you think: any good?

I CHECKED when I got the royal flush just to see if I could drag it to the river...

1. The reason I just called with J10s pre-flop was because it was not a premium hand but it was only 2 big blinds to see the flop. Worst position on the table as well because SB folded.
2. I saw the flush draw (and potential royal) so I C-betted half the pot. 2 people left and one called it.
3. I see the card that makes Royal flush on the turn ... all I did was check because I wanted to make myself appear weak. I will rarely ever check if I have a good hand on the turn unless I know I have the nuts.
4. He immediately sees weakness and goes in with almost half pot... he has a flush potential while already having QQ from the flop (obviously I don't know this yet!) I want this to get to the river to ensure he has the best hand possible!
5. The river is perfect. It makes his flush with almost the best possible card: 9.
6. He sees my half pot bet on the river and then he shoves all-in.

If I had have shoved all-in on the river he may have assumed I had either the 10 or J. I guess he may also have assumed I had a low club as well but hey...

I am certain there are flaws in my play but I am still learning.

Looks good to me. I'm not sure why he was playing short but that usually indicates a weaker player.

You have played this hand good, low bet with a potential to grow huge pot, if you have bet more, maybe you lose him in this way you are giving some sign that you have something or you are pretending to have, nice job.

If someone played that hand real bad, it was your opponent. He's definitely not an experienced player. He should've realized that his pair wasn't enough as early as the flop. Then he fell in the trap when you showed weakness and shoving with just a 9s says it all. I think I would've played it the way you did.

Yes, this is well played. Slow playing the stone cold nuts allowing your opponent a chance a chance to catch up and blow off his entire stack is the ideal result.

Well done and congratulations!

This hand was incredible. I never had a royal flush.It's my dream.

Very nice ... and I have to agree with others ... well played ... you have to extract value from it and when it is that obvious what COULD be out there that is usually difficult ... and amazing hand would love to have that problem : )

I don't think he was too strong. The club going down on the river really sealed the deal because I was hoping he would either play it to convinvce me he had a flush or that his flush was better.

Thanks. It did work out well.

Yes I think he should have seen that I could have had either a pair of kings or aces by the turn. I think as soon as he saw he had a flush by the river he just automatically presumed he had the nuts.

Surprisingly I have had another in the past few weeks. I was multi-tabling and somehow it got overlooked. I think I automatically assumed I had Ace high flush but when I looked back on PT4 I suddenly spotted it and thought, wow I need to pay attention more!

Thanks. Looks like I did the right thing then.

I got a Royal flush I had once. but I didn't play it because all the players had discarded their cards. that's why I remember this event.

played well, trying to bring more villains into the pot, it would be better to check and see the reactions of the villains, but this is well played, congratulations on the hand !!
and peace be with you !!

on asian local site, you'll get $2500 if you hit royal flush as a jackpot... you have to slow play until showdown...

Ugh... reminds me of flopping quad aces. I got next to nothing from it because my opponent just wouldn't bite.
