Nearly one a month...
I've only been back on Sky since I got back from travelling in October 12, yet this is the 4th royal flush I've been involved in since (2 for me, now 2 against me) - considering the odds in one coming up I'm amazed how variance has thrown so many in such a short time!
And glad I'm less of a fish than I was in October, I'd have probably doubled my oppo up back then lol

Pretty sick to flop the royal lol
Looking back though, part of me originally toyed with folding because these min-click-backs from players that have been fairly tight so often seem to be hands that have KQ in horrible shape... but anyway...
If I bet the flop he either flats (and I figure it's possibly AA with Ad, good to then keep firing in position, until a 4th diamond or a jack appears... or until I get re-raised and assume he was trapping with a set, straight or flush?) or re-raises (in which case I tend towards a fold?)
Having checked the flop and turn, I would normally figure I was definitely ahead, dunno why I erred against firing here... again though, if I'm raised do I have to fold and figure oppo was trapping? Possibly even easier fold then, because the turn card can't have helped him.
If I've been called all the way down, should I really be value betting the river?
IDK... on that basis I'm not sure I would have lost much more, assuming I fold to a check-raise on any street... but always accepting that I'm like 4 months into trying to learn cash and most of those that post on here are far more skilled than me!
Or is it the case that I should be happy to get it all-in on the flop if I bet and get check-raised?
