The only thing you did right, sir, was suck out

I hate these retards. And I hate it when they get lucky.

In this hand, SB has 22. See what you make of his play.

Horrible. I have less than 10BB and he has a hand that will rarely be good enough postflop that he can be confident in it. He should push.

FR Vessant: checks
*** FLOP *** [Kh Jc 2h]

dtrix79: checks

I can forgive checking but I generally make a weak bet here, in the hope the BB will think I'm FOS and shove a K or J over.

FR Vessant: bets 300

I have a strong hand: a flush draw plus a pair. I have 14 outs to beat top pair, and I have to think I'm best at this point. If he is "trapping" with a K and pushes over, I'll have an easy call and be favourite to win.

dtrix79: calls 300

This is terrible with his hand on this board. He should definitely raise.

*** TURN *** [Kh Jc 2h] [Qh]
dtrix79: checks
FR Vessant: bets 930 and is all-in
dtrix79: calls 930

He probably can't fold here. I can't have KQ (would have shoved it pre), KJ is unlikely (probably shove that too) and all the draws came in. He has at best 10 outs but the pot offers 2 to 1. So I guess he has to call and hope to get...

*** RIVER *** [Kh Jc 2h Qh] [Kd]

Lucky.

Sigh.
