a hand from B&M day before yesterday. Table is fishy but people limp in with High PP all the time and try to trap you. I had nothing going for me that night, people kept showing me 2 pair against my AK and AQ all night. and I screwed up this hand so bad, i left the table right after this hand (steaming !!). at least am glad didnt stay in the table after this hand. would have been spewing chips all night otherwise on tilt.

Hero is MP2 with Ac-2c

Preflop: UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB raises, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls, CO calls

Flop: Kc-Qc-5c
UTG bets, Hero calls, CO calls, Button calls

Turn: Kc-Qc-5c-Jd
UTG bets, Hero calls, CO calls, Button calls

Turn: Kc-Qc-5c-Jd-5d
UTG bets, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, UTG calls, Hero calls.

UTG shows 4c-9c. CO shows JJ.

When UTG saw my hand he said that not to feel bad. CO wasnt going anywhere even if i raised the flop or turn.

Did I just get unlucky or was it not that bad play. I dont think I got unlucky because CO had a better hand all along and we both got our fair share of luck. and I shouldve raised the turn right ??

I dont see a whole lot wrong with smooth calling the flop hoping the CO and the button call, but I raise the turn.
<Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

Calling the flop is ok ... depending on your table ... most B & M tables I have been at most people fold to 2bets with a flush board. But you do need to raise the turn ... the jack helps you as it may have given someone a straight or a draw. Slowplaying had nothing to do with getting beat ... If those Jacks were staying in for one bet with KQ and 3 spades on the board, they were staying in for 2.

What happened to SB and BB?

I'd raise the flop as you're likely to get a call from any club if these guys suck as bad as you say. I think calling the flop misses bets especially since people are more likely to call flop bets than turn bets.

Given that you didn't raise the flop I'd raise the turn.

You got unlucky but I also think you played this too passively.
