It just got worse for him. Curious as to the betting progression. Presuming he bet heavy after the flop because the more cards that came out the worse his chances got, correct?
Villain was already stuck, inexperienced in PLO and a bit bet-shy. See below.
Quite a run-out. Hero was crushed on the turn, drawing to two outs and caught lightning on the river. Grats!
Thank you!
Interesting. I would have folded pre-flop.
Well as the cards fell, yes I should not have even been in the hand. But we were playing 0.25/0.25, the villain only raise to $0.75 pre-flop and I had been running way good. I had just crushed the tourney, winning $120; I could do no wrong and just kept getting hit by the deck. My pocket pairs turned into flopped sets, my suited connectors flopped flushes, and I just turned a ton of straights and boats. The the third had of the post cash game, I flop quads, villain turns A-high flush and I felt him. So with my luck just boundless last night, why not see a flop for $0.50 more.
After the flop, I put the villain on trip Js or 4 to the straight. He bets pot, something like $3. With 4 to the straight flush, I call, relying on my continued luck to hold out.
The turn scares me. Boat gets there. I check and villain only bets $3 again. He was stuck and wanted to get max value, plus he was sure my luck could not be that good, and knowing I'd probably call the $3 having either a straight or drawing to the flush. So I think for a minute and then decide go for it. If he had bet more I probably would have folded, but that's what you get slow playing.
River comes and I have to try and control my reaction. I hit the 2-outer for my first straight flush ever. If he was drawing to the straight, he probably got there and with the flush on the board, I don't want to scare him off, just praying that the river hit him hard (little did I know). I check and let him decide to get it in dead, planning on putting him all in with my table image as big stack bully if he bet small again. He snaps for his remaining $12-$13. I just smile and quietly call. He quickly turns over the boat and thinks he's good. I just turn over my cards and say nothing. He looks and is like, "boat beats flush, YES!". I smile and point out its a straight flush. Table erupts. He's crushed. Best session of my life.
also resulted in a W?
