Was in a play money tourny last night on pokerpages out of boredom and brokeness. I was having the night of a life...chip leader almost the entire tourny and then this happens..
Blinds 150 -- 300

I have 300,000+ chips
avg stack 20,000
Dealt pocket 5 spades 5 DIAMONDS.

i have about 10x more chips then anyone in the tourny, let alone on my table. So im pretty comfy. I raise 2,000 and almost everyone folds cept 2 guys.

FLOP -- 3clubs 7Clubs 5clubs

one guy goes ALL - in, about 18,000

I call it... the other guy folds..

He has big slick Clubs

Turn comes Queen clubs

He hit his ace high flush

i congrat him on the good hand.

River comes... 5 hearts.

Jesus christ?

Presto! Nice hand indeed.

Does anyone else kinda feel like they're sorry they used up that bit of luck THERE when you hit something like that on a free or low stakes table? I know, stupid question, cards have no memory, etc., but still... somehow that consoles me a little to get terrible luck on a freeroll tourney or w/e and spooks me a bit when I get a big rush in that kind of situation.
