Re: Coordinated boards. What Im I doing wrong?
This hand is perfect. You should be thanking villain for not taking an extra bet off of you. You never were offered any evidence that your hand was second best, and you played appropriately.
One of the things you have to start realizing is that you're not entitled to any pot until the chips slide your way. All you can do is play every pot to the best of your ability and let the direction the money slides take care of itself. If you're playing good poker, you'll have big enough pots sliding your way often enough in the long run. You need to learn to quickly get over the shock of finding out you didn't have the best hand in order to realize that you were not charged at least one additional BB to show your hand down. Sometimes the cards just come in a manner that you're destined to lose a lot of money, and you lost pretty much the minimum here. If you lose the minimum when the cards fall poorly, then your wins can easily make up for it.
