That Elusive Hand

I looked down at my cards last night at around 9:30 and saw something I'd never seen in my hand before - the 7, 8, 9, 10, and Jack of diamonds. Woot!

I've been playing poker semi-regularly for coming up on 20 years and this was my first natural straight flush. Granted, it came on a hand of Anaconda, a poker variant where what seems like half the deck passes through your hands, but I'll take what I can get.

Hopefully I won't have to wait another twenty years to see my second.
