LuckyHearts**WARNING COULD BE DISTURBING FOR TIGHT PLAYERS**

[islandtime2]

Not an NDB tourny win and not even a multi thousand dollar cash win. But when you grow a str8 flush (yes grow - and it costs some money to grow a str8 flush) in NLH you just have to show it off! I can not even remember the last ime I had one and I probably did not get paid off when I did grow it the last time - this time I did.
**WARNING THE BELOW HAND CONTAINS ISLAND CALLS AND MAY BE DISTURBING TO REALLY TIGHT AGGRESSIVE PLAYERS - READ ON AT YOUR OWN RISK OR AT LEAST WITH ROLAIDS NEARBY**

I absolutely love the end result of this hand (heresy! - I know - never be result oriented - but again its a str8 flush draw!). In my defense I am ahead going in for the first call (pock9's vs pock 7's) and there never are overcards on board and how do you ever really know someone has hit a set (its like the silent assassin hand of poker). I am way behind on the flop and turn where I have to make the big calls but again its a str8 flush draw! Don't you always call with draw's to a str8 flush !? How else are you going to ever get one?
