 Hello All,
Please Help me with this one... blinds are 2/5. I am up 350 before
I ran right into a bad beat "train wreck" last night! What would you do if you had;

K 5 same suit, little blind and everyone is limping in.
I called ...

Flop is
4K4
I bet 15$ everyone folded but 2 players and they just called me.

Turn is
K
I checked thinking that I am going to trap them... then they bet out 15$

River is
4
I went all in. 1 folds and the other called.
He had 4 of a kind... 4 6 off suit.

What would you do? And Why? Because what I did was wrong! I want to be better at my game so PLS HELP!

on the flop why are you leading out into a full table of people when you are first to act when only a better hand can call you? on the turn, w.e, on the river when you bet all in what is going to call you that is worse? there are two players, only one can have a K, what do you think the other likely has?

 Thank you for your reply!
You are right about my position. Some one else has pointed that out to me today. I just thought that since they were suited and I had 2$ in all ready, I didnt think to much about it at the time.

I was just thinking that the one who stayed in had a king too. I had been watching this guy for 3hrs str8, and he is a rock. I couldnt get a read off of him all night when he was in a hand (and not with me) he would turn over high cards. so I thought it was going to be a spit pot.

Could I have bet that differently next time and how so... could I have gotten him to fold if I would have bet the f... out of it when that Turn came out? But I know now to fold those kinds of hands in early position.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
