Hitting the nut magic flush

If there's one poker outcome I hate more than any other, it's getting magic flushed. That's when you have a better hand than your opponent before the flop, after the flop, and after the turn, but lose to a flush where four of the five cards making up the flush come from the board.

This is an excerpt from my April 12, 2018 post. Of course, I'm not always on the wrong side of a magic flush; turnabout is fair play. Last night, I was on the right side of one; in fact, I had the nut magic flush. I was dealt AKo (ace king offsuit), and the ace was what Norman Chad likes to call "the prettiest card in the deck", the ace of spades. The river put the fourth spade on the board, and I had an unbeatable hand. I doubled up, and was off to the races :-)
