I'd call it - if you aren't good in that spot then at least you have a tale to tell.

If he has it, good luck to him. Did he pause before he stuck em in? Or was it insta?

Pause = he dont think u got it.

Insta = He got it.

Outcome?

If you lost would this be the worst beat possible? There is only one hand to beat you and that is the the best hand in the game. How was Floursack playing? How likely is he to have Ax7d? What's your table image? Have your been bullying the table and he has decided to start calling your raises with any reasonable hand? All said, no way would I fold. (And I'd be gutted if he turned over the Kd)

I didn't play the hand so I don't know about timing tells or know anything about the player.

My advice was either to check it behind (my preference despite having the 2nd nuts) or bet/fold. I think there is some value in betting, Ax7d might call so might a stubborn king. But as everyone knows, odds don't matter when you are drawing to single out for a royal flush, noone folds, so I think a Kd is pretty likely.

The worse beat is that our straight flush might get beaten, and we wouldn't even qualify for the BBJ !!

On poker.co.uk Ive beaten someone's straight flush and I've seen quads get cracked by a royal flush.

If only they had a jackpot!

This hand was on Boss actually, not sure it it was poker.co.uk or not; I think not though.

The guy did have the Kd fwiw, KdTx....but as I said, noone ever folds for any amount when you have any sort of draw to a royal !
