Was this a bad play or bad luck?
 

This was a semi loose table. This is villian's first hand, he'd just come in a few hands ago. I was thinking I'd take my chances with a K high flush and lost. His bet made me think he had two pair or trips. Is that a bad play or bad luck?

just be glad you only had $5. lose your stack there every time.

Re: Was this a bad play or bad luck?
 

I probably push the flop... unless you think villian is going to call with Qx a lot.

Bad luck.

Good point going down anyhow!

is this a practical jopke? u got your 20bb stack in w/ 2nd nuts, what more do u want?

is all seriousness if u r trying to play a shortstack, K6s shouldnt be in your starting hand range...

I was limping in with suited cards and caught a good flop. Otherwise would have folded.

i understand this, but playing the reason scs are profitable is because of implied odds which u dont have...
