I will tell the story first : I was living in las vegas at the time ,working and
gambling , I was on a losing streak couldnt hit a winner to save my life !whatever I played: blackjack,poker sport bets the result was the same. My roomate said lets go to Los angeles for a change of scenery,,so we went to commerce club for some poker for the weekend,I was broke and my friend gave me 1k ,I asked him if this is a loan or he is staking me? He says you are running bad,its a loan so I have to give it back,because if he had staked me,he would ve had 50% of my action.Anyway ,in Los angeles ,things didnt change for me ,just losing, so the last day,I am playing 6-12$ limit holdm,my friend come over tell me to cashout ,we are going back to vegas,I said wait till my blind . The very next hand I pick up 9-10 spades,flop : 7-8-j ,7 8 spades ,we are jamming on the flop,I have the nuts,the turn bring 7 ,jamming again,But I knew I needed a miracle because of the full house,unkown to me a guy had quads and also another player did threw away the 6 of spade. River brings the beautiful Jack of spade I started jamming again ,the pot was way over 400$ when we got heads up. JJJAAAACCKKPPPOOTTT!!!!!!
100.000$ Jackpot, my winning hand was worth 20.000$,loser made 40.000$,the rest of the table split the remaining20.000$.
My friend was angry at himself for not staking me! After I gave him his 1K I asked him how much of tip he should get ? he said 3k would be nice,I gave it to him and said too bad for you because in my mind it was up to 5k that I was happily willing to give him ,since he triggered the whole thing with his 1k.
By the way, I pushed the whole winning pot to the dealer,a nice asian woman,who found the only miracle card to save my day
