Hi,

While the diamonds were live... many of your straight cards were gone.. also your kicker card was already shown by a person who called.

straightflush cards are important when all(or most) of the various outs are good, allowing you to back into one of several hands.

In this case(see my comments to Andy), I beleive this hand should have been played as a "shorthanded" holding or folded.


Sincerely,

CJ
