Please dealer, I DON'T want to hit the Royal Flush...

It's a busy friday night in a big busy casino. You are playing 1/2 NL holdem. Your hole cards are T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. The flop comes:

K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Okay, not bad. Stay in pot, cross fingers. Turn is the J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for the stone cold nuts and everybody else drawing dead to any river card. Build pot, look concerned and hope somebody has the A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. But wait, the river is the A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Son of a.... That card gave you a Royal Flush, you won a decent pot but nobody is interested in the river betting round.

Moreover, it cost you a huge jackpot since now you are only using one hole card to make your hand.

You hit a one-outer to a Royal Flush and it cost you money.

(This has been a fictional account by one who is bored at work today.)

Make a thread about it?

Be happy you won.

I have seen this happen to a guy at my table. No jackpot no matter how insistent he and the other players were. I didn't bother to help him win the futile argument since I know how these things work.

I don't get the point of this fictional hand?
