Perfect flops are great
This was the second hand of the $5 tournament I played last night, isn’t it nice to hit the nuts on the flop? Especially when you can convince someone to commit all their chips to the pot. I’m pretty sure (but will never know) that the BB made a low straight here, probably on the river. I went on to place 2nd of 10, winning $15. (These are just tournament chips below, the $5 buy-in gets you $800 in chips).
