I got my second ever Royal Flush during an Omaha 8 game on Poker Room last night. This time it was wonderful. First, there were no low hands, so no split. Second, 3 people bet and raised me on the river, making the last bet the absolute maximum possible in a limit game. One had Aces full of tens and the other had 4-pled 10s. If I had held their hands, I would have done exactly the same. I never did see what the third person had, but he had to be an idgit head to raise it with two 10s on the board and 4 hearts. He may have had kings full, which is a good hand. But not so good with 3 re-raises.
Alas, I've now pulled Royal Flushes at two of the few online poker sites (Empire and PokerRoom) that don't pay a bonus for a Royal Flush. Not even a crummy t-shirt.
I also hit my $100 bonus on poker room last night, which was a nice surprise. For some reason, I thought I needed 1000 rakes when I really needed 700.
Now, it's off to earn out the $100 at ParadisePoker. |
