Wow
Just played the most unbelieveable hand.
It was a $50 buy-in no-limit table at Spades Lounge. I had been playing a little bit like a donkey (actually, a lot like a donkey) and I had cut my stack in half before clawing my way back to almost even when this hand came up.
I was dealt KK in the big blind. There were a total of four players at the table. UTG player calls, button folds and small blind makes the minimum raise to $2. I normally don't like to slow-play with this hand, but I'd been having more success at this table by mixing my game up a little, so I just smooth-called, as did UTG.
The flop came Jc-6h-3h. Small blind bets $1. I call and the other player raises to $2. Small blind raises to $3 and again I call. Now the other player moves all-in for $10 more. Small blind and I both call.
The turn is a Kd, giving me trips. At this point, I putting the all-in player on a flush draw and the small blind on maybe a pocket pair, but certainly something. He bets $7. I figure now is the time for me to end the charade, so I bet enough to put him all-in, which is around $20 more. He thinks and calls.
So now I'm sweating the river, but figuring that I'm still in good shape to make money on the side pot, even if the flush draw hits. Still, I'd like to take the whole pot down, so I'm eager to see the river card. It finally comes down and not only does the flush draw miss, it's the last king in the deck, giving me quads! Cha-ching!
Nice little hand, but what made it unbelievable was when the other players turned their cards over. As I expected, the UTG player had a flush draw, but he actually had a little more than that, holding Ah-Jh for top pair, top kicker and the nut flush draw when he went in. No way he was getting away from that hand. The same goes for the small blind, who had pocket sixes and a flopped set.
It feels good to get lucky.
