Self fulfilling prophecy?

[ahnuld]

Was wondering if I basically asked for these results because I feared them and acted poorly as a result of this fear.

400nl on party. A limp to me in CO. I raise to 20 with KQ. Only the sb calls, he has about 300 total.

Flop comes 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] There is about 48 in pot, he checks, but I have a bad feeling about this hand and only bet 30 becuase im expecting a check raise. I knw this is stupid and it was a bad mistake, but at least I recognised it right away. Anyways, he does check riase me right to 130, and it forces me to fold.

My quesiton is, did I make my own destiny by betting so little, or did it just seem like it? Do you guys ever notice stuff like that happens?
