Play by Play - The Nuts

Play by Play - The Nuts

I had the "Nuts" on this hand, and that is a nice feeling... (no, I didn't have my nuts in my hand either, that's not what I'm referring to...)

*I'm holding QJ suited Clubs. Not a premium hand, but definitely decent. Player2 makes a small raise and I call.

Pre-flop:

Player2 raises to $.50. Player3 folds. Player4 folds.
Flop Turn River calls. Player7 folds. Player8
calls. Player9 folds. Player0 calls. Player1
folds.

Flop (board: 6h Tc Kh):
*Flop gives me an open-ended straight draw. This means I can get either a 9 on the low-end to complete my straight, or an Ace on the high-end to complete my straight. This is a good flop for my hand.

Player0 checks. Player2 checks. Flop Turn River bets
$1.25. Player8 folds. Player0 calls. Player2
folds.
*Player0 and Player2 both check on the flop. This shows weakness so I bet on my open-ended straight draw. I bet $1.25 (the pot is at about $1.75) hoping to win the pot right then. I have one caller.

Turn (board: 6h Tc Kh Ad):
*The turn card is an Ace! I have made the nut hand (the best possible hand). There is no flush at this point, and he could not possibly be holding a full-house at this point.

Player0 checks. Flop Turn River bets $4.75. Player0
calls.
*Player0 checks, I bet the amount of the pot = $4.75. There is no way I am behind at this point. Now I just hope Player0 will call (and that another Heart does not come out for the possible flush).

River (board: 6h Tc Kh Ad 5c):
*The river brings a 5 of Clubs, I have the Nuts and I go ALL-IN!

Player0 checks. Flop Turn River goes all-in for $3.70.
Player0 calls.

Showdown:

Flop Turn River shows Jc Qc.
Flop Turn River has Jc Qc Tc Kh Ad: straight, ace high.
Player0 mucks cards.
(Player0 has Qs Qd.)
*This is interesting. If you notice above, Player0 was holding a pair of Queens! So he called my bets with two overcards on the board, and then stayed in the hand with the pair plus a gut-shot draw. Player0 did not aggressively play his pocket QQ's pre-flop, allowing me to stay in the game and take this pot.

Hand #526426-19944 Summary:

$1 is raked from a pot of $21.65.
Flop Turn River wins $20.65 with straight, ace high.
