Wow. The dream hand! Nice hit!

Thanks. $13,550 because I didn't bet Round 1, which I have no excuse for other than I had been getting wrecked. The game was stopped for about 30 minutes while they reviewed tapes, counted the cards 3x, etc. This was on a cruise ship so they didn't even have purple in the rack (I actually can say I broke the bank, at least the one on the table). I didn't play a hand of anything for the rest of the trip. I just had no desire to sit down again.

Congratulations!

In a situation like this are you happy for the win or mad at yourself for not correctly making the big raise before the flop? Personally, I would be mad at myself.

I am 99.63% happy for the win. This is not a game I normally play. Probably only the 3rd time I've sat a an UTH Table in my life. I flashed the cards to the Dealer preflop and he said "Just check, I've been killing you." And I believe I only lost .37% more with the incorrect wager, so that is the amount I will allow myself to be mad.

Interesting way of looking at it.

Let me just say that long term, the important thing is making the right decision all the time. It isn't whether you won or lost, but whether you had a good bet. When you checked pre-flop you didn't have a good bet any longer -- even if you had lost the hand in the end.

Wow, what a hit. Nice! Especially that it was a cruise ship (usually have the WORST rules) and double especially because you broke the bank, hah.

Can I have a bad bet like this then? lol I agree with you Mike, but it does sting a little that with all my good bets in life I've never hit anything like this =p.
