Would have been only my second straight flush ever! And two people went all-in on it at that... Oh well. I guess I didn't really have the stack to play with yet.

playing suited rags like is a great way to get lucky and build a stack early, but you could'nt have done that in this situation

[JeffreyGB]

Yeah...that was my thinking. it worked out well enough though. I got moved to a table where the HH didn't work , got dealt KK, and ended up AI preflop against AK. Flop = Kxx, JGB = 75k stack, and the rest just snowballed all the way to the final table w/ 700k
