played in a live casino

I went to a live casino yesterday evening and played there for about 6 hours or so.
I played a 2/2 no limit table and bought in for the maximum amount, €400,-

It was a bit of a sick night, everytime I got a hand like AQ, the guy i played with had AK. Not that big a deal when I hit my Q on the flop, but it really is frustrating when he hits his K on the river.
I got a couple of bad beats like that, but also managed to take a €700,- euro pot by the following hand:

I was on the button with T9 of diamonds. I called a raise from MP3, who had KJ of clubs. SB called with pocket Jacks.

On to the flop:

K of diamonds, 8 of clubs, Q of diamonds. so I picked up a gutshot straight (flush) draw and a flush daw.

SB makes a bet of about half the pot, MP3 calls, and I call too.

The turn:

J of diamonds!!!!!!! Oh my god, I made a straight flush!!!!! And with my 2 hole cards, so it's a very desceptive hand!

SB makes a potsize bet (he had hit his set of course), Mp3 calls (he had 2 pair), and I make a complete hollywood show of it, try to figure out by talking to the other players what hands they could have to make a bet and call such a bet. Even said that I'd better fold ;) but wanted to see 1 card. Be afraid of diamonts guys!! ;)

The river:

K of spades!!!! Oh my god, this is the best card that could come! Now SB and MP3 mak their full houses, SB has Jacks full, MP3 has Kings full, but since I have the straight flush, I'm the winner!!!

Since I said i needed another diamonds on the river and it didn't came, they took out the straight flush possibilities.
So the SB goes all-in, MP3 goes all-in, making the pot about 500, and with my 200 left, I call of course.

The both show their cards with a big smile: I've got a full house, So do I. I look a bit sad and told the I have a straight, but also a flush. Hej, I've got a straight flush!!!!!!

I'll never forget the look on their faces :D it was the evry best moment of the night!

SB gets angry and asks me how the hell i could call his bet on the flop, while he was the one who flopped a 2-outer. I had the best drawing hand.

When went home my € 400,- buyin grow to € 820,-, so I did a nice double up.
