Heads up Loss

[zenbitz]

Yeah, I know, rare... but wondering If I got a little cavalier since the blinds were not that big

Can't fault either of us here... although after he re-raised I knew I was 50-50 at best.

I got pwnt! Actually made a fight of for a few hands before my KJs ran in to ATo. I had pretty much decided to call when I chatted.... I was just wasting time. He had not bluffed at all, but had pushed a flush draw heads up (which I folded a Kxo on A-2spade flop)

First hand:
I'll take a coinflip for a chance to knock him out right then and there.

Second hand:

*** FLOP *** [Ah Js 3s]
zenbitz: bets 1200
carter1: calls 1200

That would set off alarm bells for me.

In the 2nd hand, why'd you bet 1200 into a 400 pot?

um... I don't know. that's probably bad. What's really bad is I guess I over bet the flop so if he calls I know he has something. So, I should really check/fold this turn.

Well, damn, I schrewed the pooch on that one.

EDIT: I take it back... I kind of remember what I am thinking here. He just flat out fooled me with his call pre-flop - I put him on anything but an ace or pair! So, if he has no ace, then he has either a freak 2 pair, or flush draw, or nothing, or I am way ahead.

Hence, pwnt.
