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

But here is the hand of the night. This hand is something you'd see in some big budget Hollywood movie. We're around 1.5 hours in. 6-handed. It's limped to me on the button. 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.
