Well you got one of your cards for the royal but still not great odds for the last one to come up and you would have missed out on the 2500.  I say you played this one well in hindsight.  That is a very tough choice though.  Turned out wonderful, good job!! I think macman is right saying go for the royal on 4 cards not three when you have such a better chance to the straight flush in this case.  If you didn't have that 9 of hearts easy decision to go for the royal. Although even another heart you would give up a flush for the cahnce.

Correct play would be to hold the flush you were given. You will lose in the long run if you draw to an inside straight flush.

Go for the royal. After all, what are you playing for? that why its called gambling.
Good Luck
