the best of hands, the worst of hands: my biggest pot yet

I had to feel sorry for this guy. Let me set the stage by saying that I had just doubled up three hands prior on an Ace high spade flush, flopped. With all of the preflop action, I was certain that I was going to lose it all for some dumb reason. I was so very wrong. I'm going to go ahead and call this one my worst delivered beat ever. Also my biggest net pot to date!

Situations like these where you flip your cards up in a live game, I always opt for a chop of the pot. I don't want to get lucky and I don't want you to get lucky.
