he turns over 10/2o........not aggressive enough for me? or just sucked out on again?

Wow. You're the first person to ever lose to a full-house when you made a flush.

[Tosh]

These things happen mate. As the saying goes noone remembers their big wins only their bad losses.

[goldtee100]

You think???? /images/graemlins/smile.gif I guess I'm just thinking more players play a whole lot smarter than they do........I asked him why he played 10/2o....His reply.......it only cost me 2 bucks! I didn't say or ask anymore!

I think you misunderstood the post, Dynasty. I think he was saying what a bad beat it was for the guy who flopped two pair against his King-high on the flop that he sucked out on the turn and made his flush. Luckily, the flop leader made a full house on the river, so it turned out OK in the end.

You could easily raise the flop, you've got the second nut flush draw, two overcards and backdoor nut straight draw. You're a favorite to improve by the river.

It's not a hard beat, flushes lose to rivered boats all the time. When the board pairs and somebody wakes up, this should send up a little alarm that you could be against a full house. I'm not saying you played the river wrong, but you must know it's a possibility.

Always assume people play badly until proven otherwise.

You shouldn't have even asked him the first question. Allow him to be positively reinforced for making that call by winning the hand. I would even go so far as to compliment him for his play.

BTW...what limits were you playing that he paid $2 extra from the small blind for a raise?

No he isn't. I've seen it happen many times. You obviously need to play more often.

You should be raising the flop. This is a big one for your hand, and since the pot is raised preflop, you need to defend your overcard outs. Not raising on the flop was a significant mistake, IMO.
