Lucky Break in Hold’em Game
So I’m at the final table with 5 people left and starting to get short stacked. On the the button, I get K-10, both diamonds. I call the BB. The SB called as well and the BB checked.Maybe I should have pushed but I don’t like my hand all that much.
The Flop comes, K,3,4, rainbow.The three is a diamond.
Both other players chech, so I figure they missed. Seems safe since they didn’t raise preflop. I put in a pot size raise hoping to take it down. The SB folds but the BB things for a bit and calls. Turn is 7 of diamonds. The BB checks again.I’m thinking that he has something like a K-rag and just wants to check it down. I push!
He yells, call. (not what I wanted to hear). He has 5-6 and hit is straight. He called a huge bet with a open-ender and hit. Hummm.
The river, Ace of diamonds. I hit my flush!
I go on to win the tournament.
Somethings it is just one hand that you can point to as your key to winning. I had a little under a 25% chance of double up of missing the money and I hit. That my friends is the difference between a good night and a bad night.
