September Bankroll Donation from William Hill

WillHill doubled their monthly bonus in September for existing players. So we'll be earning $19/hr for our first 5 hours of 1/2 FL work this month.

In my first 1/2 session of the month, I got the hand of my short ring game career so far.

Cryptologic
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $1/$2
9 players

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is UTG with Qh Th
Hero calls, 2 folds, MP2 raises, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: Qs 9s Jh (10SB, 5 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero raises, MP2 calls, CO calls, SB folds, BB 3-bets, Hero calls, MP2 calls, CO calls.

Turn: 8h (11BB, 4 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, 2 folds, BB calls.

River: 9h (15BB, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB raises, Hero re-raises, BB re-raises, Hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: 23BB

And before anyone comments, YES I screwed up... I was busy surfing online and DIDN'T notice the straight flush, and I can't remember if there is unlimited raises during showdown in WillHill. I suspect we could so I called a hand on the river holding the nuts! Dumb dumb.

When I saw BB's pocket nines, I thought I had lost to the quads until the pot moved in my direction. That's when I realized I got my first EVER straight flush.

By the way, I also found out that the bad beat jackpot at WillHill is only awarded when the losing hand is quad Jacks or better.

Nice Hand. That's funny, I also hit a straight flush yesterday. Check my site for the photo.
