I can't imagine a better line. You've got ridiculous board coverage.

There aren't many flop matching hand combo's that you could want more for pushing. TPTK, nut flush draw, 13 card wrap, nut low draw, and nut low redraw. It's just fine how you played it. Sucks if you lost w/it.

For reference though, your hand is strong enough to play multi for value. Meaning, it can be limped or min raised from UTG. It's a pulling or pushing hand.

Lol Zoph, nice signature btw. With the locked thread count and all.

Anyways, I ended up in a 3 way all in, and I was up against KK and 6s 4s 7 x. The turn was a 4, and I thought i scooped till' I looked at his cards and saw, the worst hand won, yay. But, I chopped a big pot and it was pretty crucial.

Right now I'm 8th of 19 left in this thing, 18 cash. Come rail if you guys want!
