Sucks that the 4th diamond hit and you had both the A and the K. Would have been nice if he had the 9 diamonds.

I can't believe he called that raise on the river with the board pairing and 4 diamonds. What are you raising with that his straight beats?

thanks - got to love'em huh

I mightve raised that flop. he proabably wouldve folded and you wouldnt have hit your RF though

I would have definitely raised the turn. He bet $7. Even if you just min raise him, you might get all his money into the pot. Nice hand.

I think I had 3 RFs upto this point, only made reasonable money with one of them. And I lost to a RF, when I had the 9 for a str flush, and was hoping he has something else than the A. For a reasonable bet I had to see it.

Thanks guys -it was a blast.

BTW, I went over to Lucky Chances south of SF and played in their $100, 2,1,1 (4 to open) NL live game and I like the format very much. It did hurt that I won $300 after 6 hours. At one point I was up $500 but things happen.

A few lose players and I doubled a few times.

No RF but a few nut flushes - flopped one.
