Full Titl Poker Royal Flush

Royal Flush on Full Tilt Poker

Ever wonder how to play a royal flush? It’s easy. Play it good enough to show everyone and to obtain any comps from the poker room, be it online or at a casino – should they be available. In this tutorial I’ll give you the knowledge to win ANY hand when you have a royal flush. I’m pretty funny right?

The hand went down something like this in a $.50/$1.00 ring game on Full Tilt Poker…

With 2-gap suited connectors in the early position I wanted to push out the driftwood and see where I was. With $2.50 as the table was moderately tight given that is was a Friday night and low-limit NL game. There were two callers behind me and the flop comes 4c, Qd, Qs. Now knowing I don’t have any of the flop I still wanted to know who might have hit that QQ on the board so I bet $2.00 and maybe I win right there, maybe.

The first person behind me folds and “the cutoff” smooth calls. Bingo! (S)He has the Q. Turn comes As and gives me a whole host of outs because I surely don’t put “the cutoff” on AQ being in late position and only calling preflop. So, I check to control the amount and HOPE the cuttoff keeps in low. “The cutoff” bets out with $4.00 and at this point I’m getting just over 3/1 to call given all the previous action so I call. If I miss it’s an easy fold because I’ve already put him on a QQQ.

Then BAM! I spike the Js. I know that I must make it look like I’m bluffing at the pot with a flush. You and I know I have a flush but it’s one of those things where it’s a “I know that (s)he knows, that I know I don’t have a flush” but in this case I do and it just happens to be the absolute nuts. LOL!!  So I go all-in to make it look like a bluff to get the call. In reality I can’t hurt his bankroll with what I have left and (s)he is priced in to couple that decision making process but I believe (s)he made his(her) mind up a long time ago that (s)he’s not folding.

As Spock would say, “the logic is sound commander”.
