Nice little $26 to $1000 rush

This is a nice little rush that I went on in like 1.5 hours after I was depleted down to $26 total after buying in twice for $200 each time:

I guess it kind of started when I was in the big blind with Qc2h. The UTG player raised to $25 and seven people called to me. I told myself if I have ANYTHING, I gotta go all-in for my last $40 just for the pot-odds that I'd be getting. Unfortunately this was a hand that I was unwilling to do so with. It turned out that the flop came 5-6-7 with two hearts. The turn was the 9 of hearts and two guys bet/called. The river was a fourth heart. They both checked and they both had the straight with no heart, so I would have taken it down with a two-high flush.

That hand caused me to do this on my next big blind:

Went all-in with 4s8s, quintipled up when I flopped two pair. Flop came 8-6-4, two diamonds (I was all-in pre-flop). Turn was ugly 2d. River was uglier 6 but my 8 held.

Next I raised on button with Ac4c to $40. Flop comes TdJdx everyone checks to me and I bet $50, get one caller who I put on flush draw but I have only about $30 left so I check it down, he misses half the universe with KdQd and I win with ace high. Up to about $210 now.

I'm in the big blind with TT and call a $60 re-raise with two other players in the hand. Flop comes QTx. Check, check, raiser bets $50, I call. Turn is an ugly ace (little concerned about two better sets possible). I check to him, he puts me all-in and I double up against his AK.

After that I have JJ on button. One guy raises to $12. I decide to just call with six others. Flop comes TJ5 with two hearts. One guy bets $50 and gets a caller. I make it $150 and he insta-calls, other guy folds. Turn is a blank. He checks, I bet $200 he insta-calls. River is a third heart, we both check, he has a set of fives.

technically you would've made a 9-high flush (not a "two-high flush") since your flush is branded by its highest rank...you did not mention the rank of the last card (x) but if it was higher than the 9, it would have been a "x-high flush"...nice run anyways i'm just bein super picky...+__+

Yeah that's true but my two played so that's why I said two-high flush. But you're right.
