Here's another wonderful moment from Royal Vegas 6 max NL.

Dealt K9o (neither is a spade) in the BB. A couple limpers. I check.

Flop is K 9 rag, 2 spades.

I bet, I get raised, I reraise a modest amount and get called (the others fold).

Turn is another rag spade. Crap.

I bet out fairly large (explanation to follow) and just get called.

River is a J, non-spade. Double crap.

I value bet, get re-raised big....and I'd like to tell you I made the senisble fold but sadly I was on tilt at this point, partly because this player had bluffed me into folding the best hand a couple of times by this point

Thoughts:

1. Betting out on the flop = fine. Re-raise on flop = fine, but should have been a larger amount or even a push.

2. Betting the turn = still fine since his flop re-raise is more likely to represent a king hand rather than a flush draw and I should protect against yet another spade hitting.

3. Value betting the river = possible mistake, since KJ just became a hand I can't beat. Value betting might still not be bad since checking might induce a bluff by a worse hand, but I think it's time to slow down when the J hits.

4. Obviously, calling the huge river re-raise was moronic. As I said, I was tilitng....no need to kick me while I'm down

Thoughts?
