I was SB with 3 players at a NL Hold em table. Dealer folds, I call the $1 BB, BB raises to $2, I call, and I hold --

The flop comes --

I check, he bets $5, I raise to $10 and he calls. Turn is -

I bet $25, sure that I have the best of it here, and he calls. River comes

I check, he fires in $45, and I call. He turns up

Walk it off and chalk it up to bad "luck", or learn how to play that kind of flop and not lose it? Thanks.

1) Check-raise more on the flop...say $15. With few exceptions (I can't actually think of any), there should be no reason to mini-raise in no limit. The rest is fine.

2) Say "nice hand" and compliment him on his fine play.

3) Rape him later in the session as he is a fish. You will eventually take his stack.
