Another Royal ~yawn~

Typical!! Shortly after writing about my first ever Royal Straight Flush earlier this year, I go and get another one.

This one happened in a tournament, in fact the weekly Euro League matches held at Absolute Poker every Wednesday. This was on 19th October 2005.

I won't go through the full hand history as I played it quite badly really. This was because I just called on the river rather than raise. Two reason for this - first, I didn't think I'd get any extra bets out of the hand, and secondly, I wanted to show the hand to everyone. Well, it's not often you get one! As it turned out, the only other player in the hand had made a straight, so I know I made a mistake there.

In short, I held AcJc. Flop was 8s Tc Kc. Turn Qc :-). River Js.

It's amazing how many people that have been playing for years, and have never had a Royal in their life, and now I've had 2 in a year. I only wish I'd bought a lottery ticket that night.
