Thread: Feeling Lucky About Kings Leads Me To Nice Little Poker Score At Hollywood Park

So last night, still feeling high as a kite thanks to the Kings' dominance and feeling extremely lucky in general, I took a rare trip to Hollywood Park to play some poker. $100 at a $3-$2 game.

After having my AJ cracked by a flush on the river, I was down to $26. Down to $18 (and being out of this hand), I witnessed the unthinkable; a straight flush beating a straight flush. One player had 56 of hearts, the other 10J of hearts, board was AJ987 with the 789 of hearts.



This triggered a $10,000ish "Bad Beat Jackpot" in which the loser won $4000ish, the winner won $2000ish, and the six of us at the table out of the hand won $700 each!

While waiting for the jackpot to process, I turned my remaining $18 into $248 at the table. Upon receiving my jackpot, cashed out $900 ($800 profit) and tipped the dealer the difference.

Thanks Kings!

Nice! Congrats!

The odds of two straight flushes being completed at the same table = the odds of the Los Angeles Kings running roughshod over the NHL!

Anything is possible

Nice flop for 65H! lol
How did 65H make it to the river?

Hilarious right? Flop A 10 9 (as you can see), three in the hand, 65h checks, next to act bets $20, called by 10Jh, 65h calls.

He said afterwards that he "called the flop hoping to get runner runner hearts because no one could put him on that". Profitable long-term move to chase runner runner baby flushes huh? Haha.

Glad it was him and not me, I'da insta-mucked.

On the turn, 65h checks, other guy bets $20, call call. Other guy had A8. Pretty cold deck.

Without the A hearts on board too

You were losing exactly how?!?

Dude thats awesome! I don't want to step on the mods toes but I wish we could start a poker thread and have it stickied in Reality Hipcheck. General poker talk and maybe a place to offer up home games for people. And OBVIOUSLY it would be implied that cash would never be exchanged. My group of friends plays for Skittles. <cough cough> bs <cough cough>

But my usual group has lost a few guys due to moving. I used to host a semi regular game on the weekends and would love to start doing that again. I have waaaaaay too many chips, a table, all the chairs etc.....

Thoughts?
