Hand #940699-13572 Summary:

$1 is raked from a pot of $20.
shadetree1 wins $19 with two pair, kings and fives.

Why did I fold? The third spade on the turn was a scary card. shadetree1 cracked my pocket K's two hands before when he turned a straight after he called my preflop raise with 3/7s. Now that I have reviewed the hand history, I guess calling the two bets on the river would have been the better play, since I had a high pair.

Constructive criticism and thoughts are appreciated.

TIA,
Rugbyrat
