Pair the board?

Berate your opponent until someone calls the floor and you get kicked out of the casino for a month.

Oh wait... online? Throw your laptop through the wall.

Re: What else can I do?
 

Every time I post in BBV, they tell me how bad I played the hand. I'm skipping the middleman.

Something felt wrong about getting myself pot-committed with transparently large preflop and flop bets, but not so large enough that I crushed his implied odds enough to make subsequently stacking off when the diamond hits a non-error.

I knew the K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] was horrible for me too. I 'crying bet' the turn, which I regretted when he raised as expected. I really wonder if I should have checked. I felt compelled to bet because I didn't want some random broadway or diamond to get a free shot at runner/runnering me, but I don't know if that is good poker. What hand other than a flush can take his line? I probably would have heard from AK/KK preflop, and almost certainly AK/AT/66/TT on the flop, so KK or diamonds is the only hand he can have.

He had to call 164 to win 993, with a 18% chance of turning an out. There's some fudge factor in there, because I still have decent equity when he hits, but it seems like I did something wrong by not getting more in somewhere, somehow. Maybe I should have sized my preflop raise differently, because of our depth? Then, in general, a full pot bet on the flop would be enough to make weak draws incorrect to call.

Also, I'm wondering if there was some way I could have induced him to semi-bluff the flop, so I can get enough in to kill his odds. Might he have raised a weak-lead, or a normal-sized lead, allowing me to shove? Would he have taken the bait if I represented QQ and checked the flop? I'm wondering if my flop full pot froze him up, to my detriment.

That's because they suck.

You are vastly overestimating how often he a) Has a flush draw on the flop b) Has a flush, on the turn.

Bet less, but this is pretty player dependant. A lot of guys just won't raise you with this draw, on this board very often.

Re: What else can I do?
 

Thats just awful luck- first off- he calls a sizable preflop raise with effin shiit. Then calls, a flop sized bet with a flushdraw (that you couldnt reasoably put him on (based on preflop). You had to think you had the nuts here- no wayyy you could fold this against an unknown. I have a question, assuming retard's preflop call, if you were him would u guys call the flop bet with that draw?
