"Any two cards can win," poker players like to say. But only a few combinations of cards allow you to make the biggest hand possible. Take what happened to us at Poker Stars.Net earlier this week....
We were dealt A-K of spades. The flop brought out the Queen and Jack of spades. And the turn -- the turn -- produced the 10 of spades, giving us the ultimate in royal flushes.
And to make things more fun, "1SlyPiggy" across the table did all the lead betting. We called a bet on the turn. Our dramatic screenshot comes from the river, where the Piggy tempted us (he thought) with a bet of 110. We responded by going all-in for our remaining 639. He called. And we wound up going "wee-wee-wee" all the way home.
(Well, except we play on our home computer -- so we were at home already.)
We left that pretend cash game session with a $612 gain. Too bad it was only pretend; at some poker rooms, we would have won a bonus in the hundreds of dollars.
