About five years ago playing 9/5 DDB I was dealt Ah 10h X X X and I just held the ace, and the three royal cards came up on the draw.
A couple of weeks ago I was dealt:
10s Qs Jc X X and I held the QJ and on the draw came the Js Ks As which would have been the royal.
I hate when that happens. You console yourself by saying to yourself "you made the right play." But you drive home saying to yourself "you idiot."
