What are the odds?
We got rained out today for golf so I decided to go play cash game today. I haven't been in a couple of months cause the beats just took their toll and I needed a break.
So I am there playing and nothing and I MEAN NOTHING is going on. I go 20, 30 minutes with like Q-3 off and 6-2 off type hands and then catch something decent to see a flop and miss. This goes on for about 2 hours at the $2-$5 table and I decide if I'm gonna get blinded to death I might as well save a couple dollars and do it at the $2-$2 table.
For the first hour it's the same story. I picked up one small pot with AA but I am still down almost $200 on my day and then it happens. I'm first to open with 6-5 of spades so I call and the button raises to $12 with the small and big calling so I call as well. Flop comes 7-8 of spades and a random club. Check, check, check, $20. Small blind calls, BB folds and I call. BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4 of spade on the turn. Check, check, check. River comes and the small blind checks, I bet $55, button calls, small blind folds.
Very next hand I'm in the BB with 7-5 spades and flop comes 6-8 spades with 9clubs on the turn and then BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the 9 of spades on the river. Obviously as luck would have it there was only one guy in the pot with me and he only had a set of 9's with a straight and flush possibility on the board so I couldn't make anything on the pot.
What are the odds of catching back to back straight flushes?
