Why i hate $2-$4 in AC!!

[Pocket Trips]

After about 4 hours playing against some very loose players including a few players who played 90% of their starting hands. the following hand came up... I am UTG with Kd-Jd and raise get 6 callers including the button and blinds... flop comes 9d-Jc-6d I check around to the button who bets.. i raise and the button reraises and I cap everyone but the button folds... the turn is the Qs i bet and get called... the turn is 8c giving me 2nd pair and a busted flush....I bet knowing he would've raised me if he had a Q on the turn.. he raises me and i call ... UGHHH he played 8-6 to the river!!!!!!!!! is there ANYTHING i could've done differently in this hand.. if there is i can't think o it... please let me know

Stop complaining. These players are what make AC's 2/4 games so wonderful.

Don't call the river raise.

And don't complain about your bad beats unless you're going to give the money back when he doesn't hit his 2-pair on the river.

you played it fine. don't get too frustrated... it is quite common to lose a 6-way pot with only second pair. variance is brutal but don't change the way you play.

Checking the flop wasn't playing it fine. If hero didn't bet, he had no reason to believe someone else would bet for him. Going for a CR on the flop was a mistake.

2/4 is a crapshoot no matter how skilled you are (and I can tell you are very skilled).

in this game there was no such thing as a free card and i knew the button would bet.. he was grabbin chips ready to throw them in.. so i figured 2 bets cold to the rest would get rid of them

Then you should bet and 3-bet after he raises.
