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) Seat 3: Other Guy 2 ($31.40 in chips) Seat 4: Other Guy 3 ($14.85 in chips) Seat 6: The Enemy ($15.10 in chips) Other Guy 4: posts small blind $0.10 The Enemy: posts big blind $0.25 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Our Hero [Kd Ks] Other Guy 1: folds Our Hero: raises $0.50 to $0.75 Other Guy 2: folds Other Guy 3: calls $0.75 Other Guy 4: folds The Enemy: calls $0.50 *** FLOP *** [6c 9d Kh] The Enemy: checks Our Hero: bets $0.25 Other Guy 3: raises $0.75 to $1 The Enemy: calls $1 Our Hero: raises $0.75 to $1.75 Other Guy 3: calls $0.75 The Enemy: calls $0.75 *** TURN *** [6c 9d Kh] [Th] The Enemy: checks Our Hero: bets $5 Other Guy 3: folds The Enemy: raises $5 to $10 Our Hero: raises $0.40 to $10.40 and is all-in The Enemy: calls $0.40 *** RIVER *** [6c 9d Kh Th] [4d] *** SHOW DOWN *** The Enemy: shows [Qh Jh] (a straight, Nine to King) Our Hero: shows [Kd Ks] (three of a kind, Kings) The Enemy collected $27 from pot *** SUMMARY *** Total pot $28.40 | Rake $1.40 Board [6c 9d Kh Th 4d] Seat 1: Other Guy 1 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 2: Our Hero showed [Kd Ks] and lost with three of a kind, Kings Seat 3: Other Guy 2 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 4: Other Guy 3 (button) folded on the Turn Seat 5: Other Guy 4 (small blind) folded before Flop Seat 6: The Enemy (big blind) showed [Qh Jh] and won ($27) with a straight, Nine to King |

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.

Re: Hard Beat, But Avoidable?
The tenderness on this site is really quite touching!
Okay, so my post-flop minimum bet wasn't enough to scare him away. My goal was to drive out unmade draws, but keep in the K-x, AA, QQ folks who'd called (but not raised) my pre-flop raise. Though none of you has said so, it's obvious you think what I bet didn't strike this balance. Where is that balance? Or is it possible to achieve at that point? |

Re: Hard Beat, But Avoidable?
