Ok, this is not supposed to be a bad beat story, however I would like to share some thoughts I had playing this hand and would appreciate your comments.


Hitting a flush ace high routinely lets me check if the board is paired to not run into a full house. Do you guys check if there is the possibility of a straight flush?

I didnt here, I instant called his all in. I was more thinking: damn, I missed the royal by one card...

Do you guys like the turn check? I wonder if I should have raised despite the flush board and folded to a reraise to "dodge the bullet".

I think I would always pay someone off again, any insights?
