Talk about a Balls up of the highest caliber

[Newmanseye]

I completely buggered up as i thought the bonus was paid on the straight flush as well as the royal, you know that " your a PONKER" feeling you get, well i fell like a prize plonker after that.

Now here is the question, even with a bonus looming would you have played this as weak?

[boldie]

no i probably wouldn't have flatcalled his river reraise but might have stuck a little raise in.... nh though

[totalise]

how much would the bonus have been, and do you have to win at showdown to get the prize?

if the former is over 20 cents and the latter is true, I cant see any reason whatsoever why you would bet this river.

[Graham C]

Definalty bet the river, you can always show. Surely the promo is for a Royal Flush regardless on whether it goes to showdown or not?

Yep nice hand though

[Newmanseye]

I "THOUGHT" the promo was for the Straight flush so hence the balls up, i'm gutted as i'm sure i would have got paid at the table.

Lesson learned
