So, we're playing 1/2 no limit last night at the casino. I was running cold as hell and ended up stuck a few hundred, but that's neither here nor there.
My buddy is sitting with around $120. He limps in with 5,7 in late position. Both blinds call.
Flop is 5c, 5d, 7c
BB bets 10
My buddy raises to 20
SB folds
BB re-raises to 50
My buddy moves in
BB calls
I guess if he'd hit a 9 on the turn, it wouldn't feel so bad... but the runner-runner straight-flush really bites! Ya, that hand would pretty much make you want to take up golf...
Oddly enough, the last time he was at the casino he raised preflop with JJ to around $25 and was re-raised to which he just called. The flop was J, A, 6. Bet raise, re-raise all in and they tabled their cards.
he had JJ for a set of jacks. The villian in this case had KK.
