Sucks when you miss a 20 outer (math correct?) and then get beaten out by K2o, hehe.

Why is capping the flop a good thing here when HU..?

You don't have equity edge also the board is paired so even if you get a str8 you could loose to a fullhouse

He has both a straight and flush draw in a blind war situation where both his over cards are likely to be good too. He has a fairly huge equity edge in this situation most of the time.

by that thinking you shouldn't raise aces because you could lose to a straight. you shouldn't bet with top pair because someone might have a set. you shouldn't bet with a straight because someone could have a flush draw.

i don't believe anything until they tell me so by playing back at me. and since this is a blind war, i don't give respect for any raise.

Yeah, I like a flop cap here too. Not sure what to do on a blank turn, I can see arguments for betting out and checking behind.

I really hate this steal. Being out of position against a good player sucks. Just conceade the $1 and move on.

9 flush outs + 6 straight outs + >0 overcard outs = +15 outs with two chances to hit. That means I'm more than a 50% favourite on the flop. In a blind battle I'm likely to win everytime I hit.
