Ok, not a "real" freeroll. But that didnt make it less sweet to hit on river.

i think i wouldda been slightly concerned at first seeing that heart.

krammatrix · #3 03-25-2006, 05:23 PM

if you could choose in the first hand whether the river is the Kh or Kd, which would you pick?

tom10167 · #4 03-25-2006, 05:37 PM

So you're asking if I could choose between having the absolute nuts or not having the absolute nuts?

Obviously I go with not having the nuts, a flush is even better than a straight!

the flush is a weak flush and someone could have been drawing

if no heart fell on the river then the str8 was the nuts ....true it would have split but it was still the nuts

next time spike the 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] so you don't have to go through all that mental anxiety

krammatrix · #7 03-25-2006, 08:18 PM

i know but in this caes you chopped with the straight and won the whole thing with the flush...

Heimdal · #8 03-25-2006, 08:42 PM

Warning strategi:
UTG was a fish. He called very quickly, he could have had a straight (actually he could have had alot of hands). I knew he didnt have a flush draw. MP thought for some time before calling and he could have had a flush draw that he wanted to gamble with, but I dont think he would raise my bet with a draw.
I would choose the Kh.
