Had a hard time on Poker due to some coolers, but end up with a Surprise win.

Various types of cool, cooler and coolest.

There’s various levels of cooler, and to me, all those 3 are the absolutely coolest one, being NO ESCAPE.

1

Opponent call open call 3bet, and at river I’m “almost” the nuts, unless there’s a straight flush.

And it is.

2

Cash drop rounds begin with 10BB (sometimes 20BB). Instead of limp I choose to open raise 5~8BB.

Since we begin with a bigger pot, and things can escalate quite fast, Flush over Flush is pretty much inevitable all in and rekt. 

I’m afraid of getting surpassed by sets/two pairs (which might become a full house on the river), as well as AX offsuit with A of Diamond that might become a bigger flush on the river, so I went all in.

3

Definitely not expecting UTG to have AK there, so 2nd nuts run into nuts and got crushed.

Hold a sec. It’s a BBJ (Bad Beat Jackpot).

Much appreciated and I shall have a nice day.
