CO showed K T (a flush, King high) and WON $64.43 (+$30.89 NET)


CO is 9/9 in under 50 hands. This was not a normal play for someone as tight as him. Although K10s in the CO is a decent hand. Im not sure what else I can do besides play this hand the same exact way every time and let the odds sort it out.

Your thoughts?

I would have slow down the action a bit when the flop comes with two diamonds. A smooth call there would have been a nice play, IMO, as you thought he was drawing. Then going all-in on the turn card, and maybe your opponent wouldn't have called your bet with only one card to draw is flush.

It seems like a fine thought, but with his reraise on the flop to my reraise it seems he was dead set on getting it all in on the flop or turn no matter what. Obviously I'm a very agressive player who doesnt like to get pushed around, so that makes it hard to check. The only things I ever really do is raise and fold, sometimes I'll check/call but that is very situation dependant.
