Last night at Hollywood park Casino 4/8 table I'm the big blind. I get 7h8h. Man down the table raises. I've only been at the table about 10 minutes, and this is only my first hand because I waited for the big blind to come around, but I've been watching. This same raiser had raised a pot a few hands earlier (and won) with 25 offsuit, hitting a straight, so I called his raise.

Flop was 9hJhKc. Ok, four to the flush, inside straight draw, and inside straight flush draw. I check, he bets, some other callers, I call. Turn 10c. Ok I have the straight...granted it is the low straight. I check, he bets, everyone else folds, I call. I am pretty sure he doesn't have a straight because he was too quick to bet on the flop. River is 10h, giving me the straight flush, putting 3 hearts on the board, and pairing the 10s. I bet, he raises, I raise, he raises, I raise, and he finally looks up and decides to just call.

He had pocket Ks and made a set on the flop and filled up on the river. The great thing was I had him beat with the straight on the turn, and the second ten that filled him up also killed him. I am sure he thought I had a flush and that his boat had me easily beat.

That was a fun hand.
