It all adds up: Check out these odds :)

As I noted in one of my previous post titled First post in 20 days - Time goes quickly I took a significant amount of time off from playing poker. I'm gearing up to get back at it. Currently I have just a baby toe in the poker pool here n there. I haven't fully stopped playing but my play is at a crawl. My variant of choice that keeps the game fresh in my mind is the $0.25 Mystery Battle Royale. Earnings are insignificant but can add up over-time. As I like to say with any type of earning, passive or otherwise: it all adds up. Being such a low cost entry point the play isn't all that serious. A perfect quick game that last not much longer than 30 minutes (if that). Perfect for the lack of free time I currently have. The screenshot that you see above is for placing first. I knocked out six players of the 18 that entered. Those KO's earned me a total of $0.36 on top of the $1.00 I earned for placing first. That's about $2.72 an hour -- yikes - :). To be fair the bounties I earned from the KO'd players were among if not the lowest possible which was $0.06 per KO. No complaints there after-all that $0.36 still covers the entry fee and more. The total winnings ($1.36) gives me five more shots to do it all again.

Next month we will set a plan to build a roll and go from there. None of that is the reason I created this post. Sure I like posting and playing and certainly winning poker tournaments regardless of prize pool but the reason that I created this post is because something insanely insane happened at the tables. Can you guess what? You are likely thinking a Straight Flush possibly a Royal Flush or Quads. You wouldn't be entirely wrong if you guessed either of those things. You wouldn't be entirely right either. Let me explain: I hit quad 6666 when up against the chip leader that had me covered by just 10 chips. They double me up - sweet outcome. Next hand they are all in with 10 chips and I over-shove to isolate for the bounty and blinds. I get the outcome I desire and am heads up with just 10 chips at stake while holding well over 8,000 chips in my stack. The board runs out and I hit a King high straight flush. In No-Limit Texas Hold'em (NLHE), the odds of hitting quads and a straight flush back to back are approximately 1 in 21.3 million (when including Royal Flush in the math). The straight flush I hit was King High and the suit was clubs. The $0.25 buy in Battle Royal has a max KO bounty worth $5000 but its so rare that someone hits it. I have seen some $10 bounties being hit.
