I seem to have a problem discerning when my opponent might have pocket pairs that can beat me. I'm a fairly new player, and I'm never as surprised as when someone beats me this way. There's no point hiding the results of the hand below...I was beaten by pocket pairs, and I'm wondering if there was anything I could have done to play this hand better, clues something might be up, for example.
I think I was particularly perplexed because the BB didn't play more aggressively than he did. I think that might have clued me in. So another question is, do you think the BB played this hand right?
thanks in advance for any help,
