I have been playing poker since I have been 13 years old, that is 40 years and as far as I can remember last night I made my 5^th Royal Flush and this won the was the meanest of them all a Spade Royal Flush.

 

I was playing in a no-limit game and was immediately left of a player who I was currently referring to in my mind as Mr. Tilty as he had lost a few pots including the previous pot. He had straddled and I limped with an As 10s .  Several people called and the flop came down as  Js Qs 9h  .  I flopped a Royal Flush draw .. the NUT straight could be made with any 8 or any K and a flush with any spade, and I had an overcard to the board. I checked and a player in MP bet $50 into a $50 pot , MR. Tilty called the $50 and I check raised to $200 … The player who opened for $50 in MP had approximately $500 total and he insta- pushed all in. This scared MR. Tilty and he folded.  I now counted the pot and there was approx $600+ in the pot and $310 to call for me. I figured I had about a 50% chance to make the winning hand and was getting 2 -1 to call so I made the call. I turned the Royal Flush and found out my insta-pushing opponent had a Q 10 off suit less than a pushing hand in my opinion but top pair 10 kicker and and an open end straight draw.

 

I win … my 5^th Royal Flush in my lifetime and the second time that I used 2 cards in my hand while playing Holdem.
