Default Very off topic

I have another passion besides Alizée and that is poker. I have been playing for several years now, mostly in casinos in NY, but since i moved to Atlanta, I have played almost exclusively online. Anyway, after playing hundreds of thousands of hands over the years, I finally got a royal flush tonight, my first. These are very rare and are the highest possible hand in poker. If anyone has questions, ask.


Full Tilt Poker Game #2098794183: $5 + $0.40 Heads Up Shootout (15758036), Table 2 - 10/20 - No Limit Hold'em - 23:31:25 ET - 2007/03/29
Seat 1: hubba44 (1,720)
Seat 2: jokersface (1,280)
hubba44 posts the small blind of 10
jokersface posts the big blind of 20
The button is in seat #1
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to hubba44 [Ad Kh]
hubba44 raises to 80
jokersface calls 60
*** FLOP *** [Qd Td 9c]
jokersface checks
hubba44 checks
*** TURN *** [Qd Td 9c] [Kd]
jokersface bets 160
hubba44 calls 160
*** RIVER *** [Qd Td 9c Kd] [Jd]
jokersface bets 1,040, and is all in
hubba44: royal flush
hubba44: gg
hubba44 calls 1,040
*** SHOW DOWN ***
jokersface shows [8c Ah] (a straight, Ace high)
hubba44 shows [Ad Kh] (a Royal Flush)
hubba44 wins the pot (2,560) with a Royal Flush
jokersface stands up
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 2,560 | Rake 0
Board: [Qd Td 9c Kd Jd]
Seat 1: hubba44 (small blind) showed [Ad Kh] and won (2,560) with a Royal Flush
Seat 2: jokersface (big blind) showed [8c Ah] and lost with a straight, Ace high

Nice, I've actually never seen that happen in real life.

Wasn't very smart of him to go all in with just a straight... All you needed was a diamond to win. But then again, maybe the way you played didn't show you were looking for a flush.

Way to go. You managed to win quite a bit with the better hand

Story time. I was in grade 9 and a few friends and I were playing poker in the library (needless to say we weren't allowed). One of us managed a royalflush and that was it. Our clandestine cover was blown. Detention.

Edit: Actually, he was trying to bluff you and got lucky! and then unlucky. haha

Nothing on that hand, it was a $5 4 peep HU shootout, that was round one. I won round 2 as well for $20 and made about $170 that night. I do not prefer online, I struggle to even turn a profit, but the home games I have found so far around Atlanta do not suit me. I used to play I guess professionally in NY (I was unemployed for 8 months and made my rent at the poker tables). Turning Stone Casino in Vernon, NY was 30 minutes from my home in Syracuse and I would play there 5-6 days/week. I used to make about $1000/week on average (some weeks much more, and of course some I would lose $).

i made quite a bit of money on partypoker.com, but I quit playing after they blocked US residents from depositing money.

how are you getting your money into fulltilt?

Grats on the sweet hand - never seen a real one before. Seen a couple Straight Flushes, but never a Royal.
