Bad luck or do I have a serious leak?
No Limit .50/1.00 Pokerstars.
Hero Small Blind....second hand played of the session.
Villain Big Blind....first hand of his session.
Hero: Kd Qd
Folded around to hero: Raise to $4
Villain: Cold calls.
$8 in pot
Flop: A 6 J rainbow
Hero: Bet $4
Villain: Call
Turn: T (all suits now on the board)
Hero: Check
Villain: Bet $8
Hero: Raise $16
Villain: Reraise $32
Hero: Reraise all in.
Villain: Call
River: Ten
Hero turns over straight; Villain shows pocket 66 for the boat on the river.
Where did I go wrong on this?
My thinking is as follows:
Preflop: KQ suited is likely best hand, raise to take down the blinds. His cold call tells me likely Ax or pocket pair.
Flop: Bet half the pot to define my previous raise as AK or AQ...see if I can take down pot. His cold call tells me he has Ax or maybe a draw...possible slow play of trips or two pair.
Turn: My nut straight is hit. I check conveying to him my weak attempt at stealing the pot. I check raise conveying to him I have the straight if you want to do battle. His continued reraise tells me he may also have the straight, but certainly not a draw. My guess in this order is straight, two pair or trips.
Should I move this aggressively on the nut straight in a no limit game with one card to come? Is it me or was his play suspect....I don't think I'd call a check raise, reraise, all in with trips when the board is screaming nut str8?
Inputs are greatly appreciated.
