2-7 sooooooooooooted
this hand happened right after the BB (UTG last hand) raised 4.50(blinds .25-.50 cents) UTG w/ Q5c and hit a miracle flop, making 2 pair and doubled up......i was bored and in sb next hand and got 2s7s, no 1 raised so i figured, meh why not. i limped in......
flop = im 4 flushing, decent draw at this point im thinking (low draw, board paired....cant raise anything) 4 callers to the $2 bet, so im thinking if i make my flush i might be getting some decent coin fromt his pot, i cold call
turn gives mes open ended str8, and flush draw still, same guy bets $5 , 1 folds, 1 calls, and i think and just say screw it, i've got alot of outs and if i miss, oh well - cold call
river - gives me the flush (baby) and a str8 ironically, i check guy bets $5, one calls, i just called.........i think now i could of probably raised......being that if the guy made his boat, he might of bet more to entice the flush/str8 draws to raise if they made it but......at the time i kind of just wanted to rub it in the guys face as a joke and well, im lucky and it paid off haha....

Comments
I disagree. Just because it's a multiway pot doesn't mean that you flush is beat if it hits the board (allow me to disregard the paired board in this particular hand). 13 cards of a suit in the deck. You've got 2 and 3 to the board, 8 left. For someone else to have the flush they've got to have 2 of those 8 cards in their hand. The most likely scenario when two players hold the same flush draw is that it doesn't complete on the board anyway.
Flush over flush sucks when it happens but there are tons of times in holdem when your crummy raggy flush is good.
