Made a straight flush last night. In a short-handed 20/40 game. Wayne limps, I raise on the button with 89c, Tong calls in the BB and so does Wayne. Flop comes 6c As Tc. Check-check-bet-call-call. I don't really mind getting called in two spots here. If one of them folds I will likely have to fire the turn again in order to take down the pot. With both calling, I am assured that I will need to hit either the turn or river, in order to take it down. With position and the flop bet however, I'm likely to be able to check the turn and see the river for free. So with my gut-shot straight flush draw, I'm likely the equity favorite with 2 players in and 2 cards to come. In any case turn comes the 7c, giving me the stone cold nuts. Tong bets. Wayne folds, and I raise, Tong calls. River is the 4c. Tong bets again! I raise, praying that he has the ace of clubs and will reraise me. Tong just calls, and I table my straight flush.
In all of my poker playing I have made 5 straight flushes in my life.
89c -> last night @ 20/40
Q8d -> last March @ 40/80
67d -> couple of years ago at a 5/5 NL
KQs -> on-line at UB many years ago on a .10/.25 NL (actually this was my only royal)
JTh -> at a home-game playing Omaha-8
