Way to go to dodge the Royal

[I, Zimbra]

[Robert HM]

Not sure you can count it, sorry.

[RioRodent]

... and my bad('ish) beat gets aired and I don't have to pay 50p!!! 

Flop top two pairs and lose to a straight on the river. 

[I, Zimbra]

Well - he had the straight on the flop!

I would have made a Royal on the river, and but for the under-raise rule, I would have made it too!

[RioRodent]

Well - he had the straight on the flop!

Oh yes... so he did... I missed that at the time... saw I'd hit two pairs and got excited!!

But surely, had you not folded the hand, the turn and river would have been different cards, no? I think we had that discussion somewhere on blonde before, and apparently cards are not decided when the hand begins, but rather randomly whenever a new card is needed.

And I guess you'll never fold a 4-to-the-Royal- again now?
