Poker Stars $0.50/$1.00 Limit Hold'em - 5 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

Pre Flop: (1.5 SB) Hero is SB with 6

3 folds, Hero raises, BB calls

Flop: (4 SB) 3

(2 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, Hero calls

Turn: (4 BB) T

(2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero caps!, BB calls

River: (12 BB) J

(2 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, Hero 3-bets, BB caps!, Hero calls

Final Pot: 20 BB
Hero mucks 6

BB shows 5

(a straight flush, Ace to Five)
BB wins 19.5 BB
(Rake: $0.50)

What makes this so bad is that he could not have hit the upper part of the straight flush because I had the 6c (2c3c4c5c6c) so the only one he can hit is Ac2c3c4c5c.

I think the odds of this happening is like (3/50)(2/49)(1/48) = 6/117000 or 5.102e-5 or .00005% (maybe).

That is the first hand I played of my new session. That session turned into a very very bad one.

You can't have a straight flush on that board with the 6c.

I was trying to show that he could not flopped the straight flush any other way besides the low side because I had the high side covered by the 6c. So he had to flop 3 perfect cards to flop a straight flush in that situation.

I wonder what he has when you cap the turn and he raises you on the river. Probably Q high flush most of the time, right?
