EvilEcstasy_ ???

now what and why?

[SmackinYaUp]

On the flop definitely raise hard at least 10-15. Not necessarily for information but just to be a dick and hopefully push his weak ass out. Bet again because his flush draw just got fucked. Id say about half pot just in case he's on a weak king.

OHhhh oops....I didnt notice stack sizes. His play is really weird. The only thing I can say is that you're damn near tied to the pot. On the other hand, every time I know I should fold I tell myself I'm tied to the pot and end up losing just like I expected.

Also, I usually overbet the pot against shortstacks when I have a monster because they just love to call the bluff...

Anyways, you played for a set, missed it, and hoped to push him out and that didnt work. Your only chance for taking this pot is having the best hand which I don't believe is the case. Unfortunately, the only thing you're beating is a ridiculous flush semi-bluff which I doubt on a paired board. Fold this shit, rebuy, and catch a real hand against these non-believers.

Do you like my analysis?

[SmackinYaUp]

OH, and add in the fact that its obvious you're tying yourself to the pot with this bet - he's not bluffing.

well you played it good, i woulda raised a little more on the flop because your raise looked pretty weak, he just had a monster apparently, but fold and rebuy i guess.

Explain this statement....I want to encrourage some deeper discussion. Why is it apparent he had a monster? What should he have raised to?
