How lucky am I? (straight flush)



Posted Wed May 10, 2006 3:48 pm GMT by Cricket_Fire
Don't know why I stayed in w/ this hand in the first place, but glad I did. How'd I play each street? I REALLY wanted to bet the turn, but figured atleast 1 of them was strong (considering the action on the other streets).

Fold pre-flop.

On the river I'd move-in, the pot is ~1650 and you have 1300 left.

Nice hand by the way. Wink

Thanks Johny Smile

Would you change anything on all the other streets, or just push on the river (and fold preflop 8) )?
