Hard Beat, But Avoidable?
 

I just got beat with a set of K's, where I had pocket KK and the third one on the board. The Enemy hit his straight on the turn, and I didn't see it. I'd like to think that I didn't see it because I was betting so aggressively that it was safe for me to conclude that no one would be drawing to the straight; I thought, perhaps that he had two pair or the fourth king. Anyway, it cost me my bankroll.

So was this my fault, or his? On the one hand, I lost; but on the other hand, even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while. Ignoring the fact that he won, was The Enemy wrong to call my bets before and after the flop? I'd appreciate any help on this. Here's the hand history:

Seat 1: Other Guy 1 ($16.35 in chips)
Seat 2: Our Hero ($12.90 in chips)

considering you just randomly clicked the buttons in your poker client during the hand i would say its your fault

[x] OP thinks minbetting/minraising is "betting aggressively"

[x] even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while

Re: Hard Beat, But Avoidable?
 

Okay, seriously, how do you consider that a random clicking of buttons? Pre-flop I want callers; after the flop I REALLY want callers out of the people who've just hit a pair of kings with their pocket KX. Right? If not, tell me why; otherwise I don't take the comment seriously.
