Mikeyboy9361:
Just come on to this cash table ( six handed 25/50c), after being dumped out of 2 SNGs in 10 minutes when my boat was trumped by a bigger one, and my trip 9s were out kicked by a better trip 9s, so slightly tilting!!
Second or third hand so no reads I am dealt pocket Jacks in MP, I raise to $1.50, everyone else folds to the BB who makes up.
Flop KJ8 rainbow, he leads out with $3.50, I raise to $7, He pushes for approx $45, and has me covered.
I pretty much snap call, scared of set of Kings,or AK, but not really as surely he would have re raised pre, or maybe a set of eights.
Anyway he flips over K8 for two pair, and binks a K on the turn.
Just wondered what peoples thoughts were on the way the hand was played by both of us, I have a few thoughts.

Paulie_D:
I hate min-raises with a vengeance and although the hand pretty much plays itself I do think that a decent raise to $20 might have given him a little more pause for thought.

With these beats I just type in NH, WP, GG, GFY!  :"(

AMRN:
Mikey - always wanting to get it all in on the flop when playing only 100xBB deep and holding middle set. 

Sorry but you know this already.... feels like a bad beat post rather than an academy post :)

cincicrappykid:
50p  played itself and u no it

Marty719:
def 50p, but dnt min-raise flop, it achieved little.  Make it ~$10.  This way you get to build a pot, still leave the illusion of f/e, and also get to use this in the future to bluff a bit smaller.
