Styles Smashes Lightning Poker

I popped in at Star on my way home from Newcastle and I went up to register for 80NL as I had a bit of spare cash. I saw on the side there was a lineup for "Lightning Poker" the PokerPro style electronic card tables. I'd played on it before with Matty when it was just a free trial (and we'd already lost our real buy-in to the 80NL donks).

Anyway, putting my username in as Willskis (duh) I sat down with two random guys who were keen to play. They seemed nice enough and we played for very small pots early on. Then I got on the SB and flat called, 3 to the flop. The flop was rainbow. beautiful. I bet out around 1/2 pot, get called. Turn is . I check and the guy bets 17 dollars. I raise to 37 and he immediately shoves. Instacall by me and he goes "do you have a seven" pressing the "show cards" button and showing . I'm like "I have a seven and a pair of jacks, is that good?" (gotta love the donk image) and he starts swearing and going off. So like four hands in I have around $155 in my account.

I raise to $10 with . 4 callers. The flop is.... wait for it... . Yes, you are right. I flopped a straight flush. They check to me and I shove. (JOKES) I check behind obviously. The turn is so hot that I want to have sex with it. putting two Aces on the board. Checked to the guy on the cutoff, and he bets $25. I instacall, hoping they will put me on a draw. Unluckily, I get no other customers. When I see the river, I want to cheat on the turn and have a meaningful relationship with the river. It is the . That's right shoppers, I hold on a board of . The best part is, the guy overbets $83 into the pot. I obviously put him all in and he calls, tabling ! I swear I am not making this up. God I love running good.

So I left Star city with $420 profit after 2.5 hours work. That's how the HATS ball.
