Today's miracle is a "fairly standard" hand ending in a straight flush. I wish I could have a written hand history instead of the viewer.
I'm in the SB at .05/.1 on a deepstack table with $117.92. Folds around to middle position with $23.04 who opens to $0.3 (3x) and gets called by the HJ. BTN who previously posted, folds. I opt to call the mighty Js9s and BB folds.
Goes 3 way to a bingo flop of 2sTsKs and I opt to check. Without fail, original raiser leads for $0.83 (75% pot?) into the $1.1 pot.
I feel as though this is a reasonably strong bet - He's either got a naked As, AsKx, AsQx, AsJx, AsTx, etc.. or QsJx (I have the Js, don't forget). There's a TON of combos that he has here that can withstand a check/raise, and given how deep we are, I'm going to juice the pot if I'm going to get the 230BBs into the middle.
I go for a smallish c/r to $2.55 and he snaps. At this point, I'm almost 100% certain he has the As and some combo rather than a naked As. I guess I'm forgetting that he can also show up with AsAx, and I guess sets of KK, TT, so there's another several combos. Pot size: $6.20
Turn card hits him even more perfectly for his range - Qc. Given my c/r flop, I press for $4 into the $6.20 pot, setting up a close to pot sized all in effective. He snaps off the $4, leaving him with $16.49 and the pot with $14.20.
The river is a beautiful Qs, which gives him the nut flush and/or a boat and/or an unlikely quads (there's a bad beat on the site, so this would be really great!). I'm worried if I lead, he'll simply call behind given the strength I've shown, PLUS I want him to commit himself with whatever hand he may have... even if he has AxJx without the As, though I'm extremely confident he's far stronger than a straight.
As planned, he leads into the 2sTsKsQcQs pot with $5.30 - lighter than I hoped, but still enough to commit. I c/r to $17 and he snaps it off with AsJd.
Like I said, sometimes the you have the horseshoe, other times you are the horseshoe!
