Was betting a potish sized bet not good enough to stop the flush chase? I think I'm not being aggressive enough when I'm trying to stop flushies. I had a bad feeling he made the flush and at the river wanted a free showdown. I think even without putting him on the flush maybe I should of assumed I was beat? bahhh.. luck with kings lately wearing thin.

bet the turn, you have a good redraw to the 2nd nut flush

fold the river in this case though. if anything the opp came alive with either a flush or an A

Also, no bet would push out a low limit chase... esp because it was a gutshot straight + flush draw

Looks like a passive tipper and I find a river fold with that read.

I think you should focus on the poor preflop raise. I know you want action on KK, but sometimes you get what you ask for.

I don't play pre-flop much differently. We really want to look like we're on a routine steal here and hope someone decides to play back on an early street.

I love playing good hands + position post-flop against weak players with weak hands.

Id make opps call preflop, but id hammer in a reraise on the flop with my outs (flush+gutshot) if you push im guessing im comited or at least i have to think you arent making a play anymore and hold something good. I actually think you played this well, but i find a fold on this river if i have notes saying opp passivly chases.

The turn is fine.

Funny you say that Miffed, I just started using hud and I'm stilling getting used to using it.

Thanks for input all.
