the worst bad bad beat I ever had such BS

[nr1baby]

On staurday I was playing a live game.I had K 9 spades and was seccond to act. The guy first to act had K 10 off suite,anyways b4 flop I had 1700usd we were playing 5,10. b4 preflop there were three people playing A was first to act and B was me and C was the guy acting after me. Anyways A called I check and C bet 40, so A called and I called. Flop ( 8 9 K) A bet 130 I called C called.Turn A. A bet 200 I reraised with 600,C foldand A contemplated along time then went allin which I without blinking called him,he showed me K 10, so i was like yes I am ahead,so the river came.. A so the board was 8,9,K,A,A so I lost to him because he had higher kicker even though I had 2 pairs K,9. Fukin A came. Man that was such a fukin bad beat.

hi

I think if you make 2 pair on the flop you needed to at least re-raise the first guy

by flat calling your telling him his top pair 10 kicker is probably got a good chance - this IMHO is why he kept going to see more cards

always difficult to know what the other players are putting you on - but if you show weakness (flat calling) then it keeps the door open to these sorts of hands

and then things can go wrong

just a thought - but I would always tend to play hands hard if they hit unless the board is actually really scary for you and then I'd either bet alot harder or just leave the hand well alone

poker is a really amazing game of out thinking your opponents and making them make the tough decisions

If you re-raise on the flop I think you'd have taken the hand there and then - far safer
