That’s right, I am no longer a royal flush virgin!

After getting in around 6am this morning and sleeping off quite a festive new years eve celebration I decided to jump on-line for a bit of relaxing poker action. Logging on to Poker Champs I was pleased to find a 5c/10c limit game running (limit usually isn’t that popular on champs) and I sat down to play. 8th hand of the game I’m dealt:

:Jd::Qd:

in middle position and limp in along with a few others and we see a flop:

:8c::Td::Kd:

Quite a nice little flop from my point of view and I decide to have a bet, I get a couple of callers and no one goes any higher so we see the turn card:

I had to recheck it at least three times but I did indeed have a royal flush, my first ever! I bet out and got callers to the showdown where I proudly turned over my cards to show off the best possible hand in poker. Collected a reasonable sized pot and a rather stingy $5 royal flush bonus from Poker Champs (anyone know if this increases as you move to higher levels?).

Really though, in this case it’s not about the money, it’s about the cards. I’ll always remember my first royal flush. Happy New Year!!!
