Default Re: I just lost $400 on this hand - and I deserved to lose!

You put all your money in with TPTK. You lost. That's about what I'd expect. You overplayed a pair.

I can't believe all the advice in here. Guess what. No matter what you bet on the turn or flop, you still have another guy who called the flop bet so you won't be able to fold a draw. Call the flop bet and hope he doesn't hit his draw. Bet turn if no heart hits and bet the river.

This is fine in limit, but Hero either suspect that he is a little ahead or really way behind. Calling is the worst option for a number of reasons. I think that those reasons have been covered in this thread. But I just wanted to reiterate that calling in situations like this in big bet poker will lead to ruin.

Just my 2p.
