I knew it was going to be my night within minutes of taking my seats at Party Poker. I hit the nut straight on the turn and was getting bet into. I of course raised back and the pot was capped. In addition to myself and the other raiser in the pot, 3 other people called down! It was the type of hand we all dream about. The river paired the board, but I wasn’t worried and bet from last position, getting 3 callers. It ended up being a 29 BB pot. Everyone else had also made their straight on the turn, but none beat or tied mine so I took the whole pot.

After hitting two royal flushes last night I was on a poker high so I decided to wait until today to review my play from the session. My biggest losing hand was so horribly played that I can’t believe it myself. I raised in late position with AcTc and one limper called. The flop was 7-high with a pair of 4s. It was bet into me, so I raised to see where I was at. I was then re-raised and this should be an easy fold with my ace-high hand. Nope, I capped it and then went raising again on 4th street. I ended up losing 7 BB on the hand, which is 5 more than I should have.

You’re never going to believe this…hell, I can’t even believe it. Before I was even done writing that last post, I hit another royal flush! Less than 30 minutes after #4 came #5. I heard back from Party Poker already about the first royal flush and I get a free hat. I emailed them again for the 2nd one and they said I get a hat, so I replied asking for a t-shirt or something different if possible.

I hit the 4th royal flush of my life tonight while playing at Party Poker. This time I sent them an email asking about if they have an special bonus. Who knows, maybe I’ll get a hat out of the deal or something. Doesn’t hurt to ask right?
