weird hand
3-handed, I’m massive chip-leader.
PokerStars Game #3391082495: Tournament #16808820, Hold’em No Limit - Level III (25/50) - 2005/12/20 - 22:19:17 (ET)
Table ‘16808820 1′ Seat #7 is the button
Seat 7: jlf88 (1570 in chips)
Seat 8: dnord520 (6765 in chips)
Seat 9: dgaughy (665 in chips)
dnord520: posts small blind 25
dgaughy: posts big blind 50
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to dnord520 [9s Ts]
jlf88: calls 50
dnord520: calls 25
Some would say this is a raising situation shorthanded (since nobody’s shown strength), but I don’t agree.
dgaughy: checks
*** FLOP *** [6h 8h 7c]
I am not even that concerned about the flush draw: for whatever reason, I slowplay the nut straight.
dnord520: checks
dgaughy: bets 150
jlf88: calls 150
This is why you slowplay: folks with pairs, two pairs… those who are badly beaten? They’ll try to steal it from you.
dnord520: raises 6565 to 6715 and is all-in
dgaughy: calls 465 and is all-in
Your first mistake.
jlf88: calls 1370 and is all-in
Bringing a friend, are you? We flip over. jlf88’s got Th9h: my exact hand, except he’s got a straight flush draw, and a not-bad flush draw, until you see dgaughy’s Ah5h, the nut-flush draw. Either way, I’m 60% to split the pot here… I just need no heart.
*** TURN *** [6h 8h 7c] [Qd]
*** RIVER *** [6h 8h 7c Qd] [2h]
Ah well.
*** SHOW DOWN ***
dnord520: shows [9s Ts] (a straight, Six to Ten)
jlf88: shows [9h Th] (a flush, Ten high)
dnord520 said, "whoops"
jlf88 collected 1810 from side pot
dgaughy: shows [Ah 5h] (a flush, Ace high)
dgaughy collected 1995 from main pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 3805 Main pot 1995. Side pot 1810. | Rake 0
Board [6h 8h 7c Qd 2h]
Seat 7: jlf88 (button) showed [9h Th] and won (1810) with a flush, Ten high
Seat 8: dnord520 (small blind) showed [9s Ts] and lost with a straight, Six to Ten
Seat 9: dgaughy (big blind) showed [Ah 5h] and won (1995) with a flush, Ace high
I would go on to win the tournament (despite losing that big pot), so it all ended well, but sheesh. That’s a lot of decent hands right there.
