I have T8xx in the BB in Omaha. Flop comes TT8. I have the nut house. No other house can beat me. I can only tie. There are like 4-5 other players, so I check my monster.
Turn is 5, The board is not even scary, there are 3 hearts out but who cares? I don't want the river to give someone holding a higher pair a higher boat, so I bet $2 into a $5 pot. I get 4 callers! I'm loving life.
River is a 6 hearts, putting 4 hearts on board, and the SB bets out 2 bucks. Fish on!
I just call, hoping someone behind will raise... yes.. the button raises 2 more, the SB calls, I decide to finesse and only raise 2 more... The button raises again, then the SB re raises 6. Now I'm worried the SB may chase out the button, so I just call. Success! Button raises AI for 8$. The SB calls and I happily push in my last. I'm figure I'm gonna split with one of these guys and the other fella with the nut flush is gonna be sad.
...
wait for it

As the freekin machine slides the pot away from me, I realize that the button had T5xx for a smaller boat, and the SB had xx79hearts, rivered the straight flush, scooping the $73 pot. I'm thinking of giving it up, yall. I guess it's my fault for slow playing the damn thing. Then the SB asks who had the Ace flush, just to irritate me.
But I said that this was a happy story, and indeed it is: I was the SB. Yes, I'm flipping the script. I won from the SB, And yes, I did ask who had the Ace high flush.
Over the past 8 days, I figure that I was playing too many hands, and not playing my strong hands aggressively enough. So, correcting that, I seem to be back on track.
