I'd been running over the table a bit with a rush of good cards in the past 30 minutes, and going all-in either pre-flop or on the river to create a wild loose raising impression (even though the cards were much better than could be expected.) People were asking ARE YOU DRUNK?
Anyway, I got dealt KK under the gun and raised it to $8.
I got one caller and the blinds fold.
FLOP: K93 rainbow
I made a pot sized bet on the flop and got called.
TURN: 9
I made a bet of about half the pot and got called, hoping to create an impression of being on a bluff or continuation bet.
River: 5
I went ALL IN and got called by 99. (QUAD 9's)
Is this just bad luck or was there anyway to avoid this disaster?
