One Hand to rule them all

By my count, this is the third time I've used this blog post title. What can I say? It suits last night's session to a tee. A whole lot of nothing happened for 37 hands. Then, on hand 38, I had three things going for me:

1. a good high hole card (a king)
2. a gutshot straight draw (after the flop)
3. a flush draw (after the flop)

I decided to turn the dial to 11 (i.e. go all in) and got one caller. I paired my king on the turn, and filled my gutshot on the river. My straight easily beat his pair of tens, and I raked in a pot worth $68,378.

 - a total of 22 out of 40 (55%)
 Pots won at showdown - 4 of 11 (36%)
