board splits are funny...


Recommended Posts

So I'm in there with a king nine of diamonds on the button. The small blind raises, I call ( short handed table) big and me call.flop comes ace 2 5 of diamonds, flopping me the near nuts.small blind bets, big calls, I raise hoping to get re raised for the smooth call turn raise. Alas, not meant to be, as both players just call.Turn comes a 4 of diamond, and I still think I'm in like flynn, I bet, call fold.River comes, as I'm sure you can all guess.... three of diamonds, making the straight flush wheel daz nuts, ad leaving me only to say..Board splits are funny. The guy had ace nine offsuit, no diamond.

why would that have been worse? I still would have lost the same half pot.

True Story: Home game Blinds are 25/50 cents. Everyone folds to SB who makes it 2.50.BB who is very loose calls and flop is 8910 all diamonds.SB bets 3 and BB immediately raises 5 more. SB goes all in and BB calls.Hands:SB has AK diamonds BB has 67 diamonds for straight flushTurn and river is Q diamonds and J diamonds.Worst split pot i have ever seen

that wasn't a split pot...the royal flush would have won.

Edit that last post-- flop was 678 diamonds-BB had 45SB had AK  Turn and river was 9 10(SB did not get Royal flush, but split pot with BB)
If you completely change the story when you realize it was totally wrong, you might find people doubting its truth.

You're right-- I fabricated the story to get a kick.It happened a long time ago and I didnt recall the exact cardsI knew SB flopped Ace high flush and ended up splitting the pot to BB when a higher straight flush appeared on board
