I was bored tonight, my girlfriend was newly employed, so cash isn't as much of an issue in our household now. I figured I could go up to the local casino and have fun for a couple hours, maybe win a couple bucks.
Eighty minutes in and I'm down $50. Then I get dealt a QA hearts. The flop brings a Th. I jokingly think in my head "Well, I sure hope the Ja hits on the turn." That doesn't happen. Instead, I get the king. I'm getting bet into somewhat big, but it's just by one other person. I call him to the river.
Then the miracle Ja hits. I'm absolutely stunned. I just stare at it as I check. He bets into me, and I just call him. I probably could have raised him, and he would have called, but I wasn't sure what the Casino's Monte Carlo rules were. I just call him, he flips up his cards--I don't even remember what they were, and I just say "... Royal Flush." I turn over my QA and the table explodes.
Not only do I win the $40 or so from the pot, but I nail the Monte Carlo, $2600. Then to top that off, I win the high hand for the hour, which adds another $200 to me. I tip my dealer big and offer to split some with the table, but they say they're fine with just a round of drinks. I also gave the guy who was betting into me $100, because he did bring it to a showdown.
The only other time I've had a Royal was in college when I won $40 off the hand. I thought that was amazing (50 cent big blind game... a pot of over $10 was something spectacular).
Even though I parked about 100 feet from the entrance, the sprint to my car seemed insanely long. I feared getting jumped or something (bad part of town), but I got in, turned on my keys and then freaked out as I was driving.
