The Poker Hand I Got Lucky With
If I could recall a poker memorable session I've had while playing poker was this online poker tournament I played on a friday night that won me the tournament.
It was the final table and a player and I was left to fight for the 1st place.
I was dealt with A♠️ Q♠️ which I raised. The player called, and I knew he wasn’t the type to give up easily.
The flop came Q♦ 8♠️ 4♠️. Top pair and a flush draw. I was feeling good. I bet, and he called.
Then came the J❤️ on the turn.
I bet again, but this time he raised.
My confidence disappeared. I started wondering if he had two pair or a set. Something felt wrong, but folding such a strong hand didn’t feel right either.
So I called.
The river brought the 2♠️ and I hit a flush!
He bet big, and after a brief pause, I called all in which he did too. He showed J♦ J❤️. My flush held, and I won the tournament that got me sweating moments earlier. It was one of the poker wins I still recall till date.
Did I played the hand well or was it luck, what do you guys think ?
Dorotii, you was holding suited over cards and flopped a nut flush draw, What else could you do! Nice win
Like Rono said you were sat on top pair drawing to the nut flush. Once you hit that flush your only fears are straight flushes, quads or a full house, given the board hadn't paired the quads and full houses are gone and when you look at that texture there is no two card connectivity to create a straight flush, I would have shoved and not even sweat one bead knowing I had the unbeatable nuts....
