    Default Critical FT mistake - I hate myself!

    This is one of the biggest f*ck ups I've ever made. I put him on a flush draw, QJ, JT, A7. It took me almost 1 full minute to make the call. WTF was I thinking? Please don't ask why I didn't raise the flop bet

    I'm a dumbass

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1200 (9 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP2 (t47437)
    MP3 (t25290)
    CO (t37721)
    Button (t14329)
    SB (t34604)
    Hero (t31893)
    UTG (t25980)
    UTG+1 (t38901)
    MP1 (t13845)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with J, 6.
    3 folds, MP2 calls t1200, 3 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: (t4000) 7, 6, J (3 players)
    SB bets t7200, Hero calls t7200, MP2 folds.

    Turn: (t18400) 8 (2 players)
    SB bets t26079 (All-In), Hero calls t23368 (All-In).

    River: (t67847) 9 (2 players, 2 all-in)

    Final Pot: t65136

    Results in white below:
    SB has 7h Jd (two pair, jacks and sevens).
    Hero has Js 6s (two pair, jacks and sixes).
    Outcome: SB wins t67847.

    Well the SBs overbet on the flop is a little weird, but I don't see how you can get away from 2 pair here.

    Your definitely being results oriented.... 89, 45, Acxc, AJ, JK, 67, even 88-TT will play this way. The fact that his range includes like 3 hands that beat you (and two of them (77 and JJ are very unlikely) doesn't mean that you should fold. It just means there is a slight chance you are going to lose.

    bad beats have a forum.

    all the hands you list are perfectly reasonable, especially with the weird flop over bet. It look like he's dying to shove any turn, seems like you played it fine.

    The only fuck-up I see is your smooth call on the flop. I would have just shoved them in. nh gg

    I felt bad after losing this hand and I really thought I played it bad. The flop call is a leak

    shove flop (no need to trap and you're never folding); turn is ok.

    Dude why is this a leak? You hit a brilliant flop in a hand where no-one is likely to have a set (no raise PF) and where anyone who overplays a draw will lose to you 70% of the time. I also would shove the flop (easy to say that immediately after Johnny says it, I know - and in case you don't know who Johnny is, spend some time on the "Winner's Circle" thread), and it's not even close.

    Standard, besides the passive call on the flop.

    It's a leak because I shouldn't be trapping with the big bet from the SB.

    I know Johhny the fish :wink FTR MTT master
