Royal Flush
Anna was right beside me when this happened. I don’t think she realizes the odds of getting a royal flush are an astronomical 649,739:1.
I limped in to the pot in late position. The small blind folds and the big blind checks; we’re heads up. The flop gives me the nut flush draw. Buddy checks and I check behind. The turn gives me the straight and Buddy checks so I check behind again. The river gives me my dream card. The pot now only has $0.60.
So I’m at the river with the nuts and buddy bets $0.50 into a $0.60 pot. I need to raise to extract as much money as I can from the guy. I decide, for whatever reason, that Buddy is willing to call a raise to $2.50. I was right.
