Set vs. Straight

[kpreston]

I'm a sucker by definition. I think I know how to play poker, but the amount of time I've been stuck at micro-limits says differently. Is there a way I could have gotten away from this hand easier, or is this just one of those situations where I have to pay the guy off?

Villian turned over 4 A and a kitten died somewhere. Help me.

Cooler.

The only things I'd have done different is that I'd have raised preflop and pushed the turn.

i would have folded the river...flush got there plus str8 completed on turn and hes still going crazy, but still nh.

10nl + set = all in.

it was a backdoor flush anyway so it's pretty unlikely he has that.

cooler, nothing you could do IMO. You were going to get it in at those stakes. Just a matter of which street.

Keep your chin up though. I'm playin at the same stakes and am having a hell of a downswing. Keep getting the moneys in good and at some point it will turn around.



I hope

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. Just have to keep grinding.
