Other player shows 7-8 for straight.

I wonder if there was something I missed when trying to get junk like this out early?

Not at that site and limit.

It happens a lot.

The guy with 7-8 flopped 2 pair, picked up a good straight draw on the turn, and made the straight on the river. There is no way you are going to get him to lay it down in this game. Suck outs like this happen all the time on 0.5/1. Get use to it. These guys make the pots bigger.
