Lost $65 Sunday night playing NL$2 at the Irving poker room. I was down $120 but I won $55 of it back.
The hand that upset me went like this:
Dealt to me [Kd, Jh]
fold
fold
fold
call
fold
(me) raise to $6
fold
fold
fold
call $4
call $4
FLOP
[4d Jd 10s]
player 1 check
I bet $9
player 2 fold
player 1 calls
TURN
[4d Jd 10s] [5c]
player 1 bets $15
I stop and think for a moment. I think he called on the flop with the flush draw and I should raise here because I am ahead. I also want to raise an amount the would push him off of his flush draw and let me win the hand right there.
I raise to $45.
Player 1 thinks for a while, then calls. <----stupid call if you do have the flush draw.
RIVER
[4d Jd 10s] [5c] [Qs]
Player 1 bets $30.
I think to myself, "he freaking hit that Q when he was on the flush draw and now I am beat"
At this point I look for a tell. He is looking right at me. I ask him, "If I fold, will you show me your hand?" He thinks for a second and says, "ummm no". This is a sign of weakness as is the staring right at me. I figure since he feels week there is a good chance my Jacks are good here. The pots odds I am getting here are huge too. The chance that he could be doing this with a missed flush and the way he feels weak makes me call the bet.
He flips over Qd 10d. So I was right that he was chasing the flush and also I was right when I thought he hit the Q. I was 75% to win this hand before the River and the guy called $45 when he was only 25% to win the hand. I got unlucky, what can you do?
