After my recent bad beats on the 1/2 lvl ive decided to build a bigger roll before moving up again... so down to 0.5/1 we go!

I get dealt KQos UTG and do my usual 3BB raise.

Kiriath Raise $ 3.00
k1ko Call $ 3.00
ShutuMoUF Fold $ 0.00
Kenokev2 Fold $ 0.00
J Money Call $ 3.00
TrueGrinderA9 Fold $ 0.00
WRNGTRACKPOWER Call $ 2.50
DCMICU Call $ 2.00
Betting round completed Last active pot = $15.00

Card dealt to table Ks 6s 3h

WRNGTRACKPOWER Check
DCMICU Check
Kiriath Bet $ 8.00
k1ko Fold $ 0.00
J Money Call $ 8.00
WRNGTRACKPOWER Call $ 8.00
DCMICU Fold $ 0.00
Betting round completed Last active pot = $39.00

My read on WRNGTRACKPOWER is that hes a total moron, he got no understanding of potodds, no understanding of outs, so in general nothing more than a fish, I figure my pair is good vs him. J Money on the other hand is a solid player. I put him on either a set or the flushdraw... ( reson I only bet 60% of the pot is that I wantet to save money in case of a reraise, to wich I would fold )

Card dealt to table Qd


WRNGTRACKPOWER All-in $ 32.00
Kiriath Raise $ 71.00
J Money All-in $ 70.55
Kiriath Return uncalled portion of bet $ 0.45
Betting round completed Last active pot = $0.00
Side pot 9 = $135.00
Side pot 6 = $77.10

Okay I get the best card I can hope for. The fish pushes all and what to do now ??? I figure I take the chance that J Money got the set and put him all in. He instant calls and shows 66. Doh.

Card dealt to table 8 d

Rake amount $ 1.75
Betting round completed Last active pot = $0.00
Side pot 9 =
Side pot 6 = $77.10
Kiriath Showdown Show card: Two Pair
K K Q Q 8
J Money Showdown Show card: Three of a Kind
6 6 6 K Q
WRNGTRACKPOWER Showdown Show card: High Card
A K Q J 8
J Money Hand result $ 210.35


Afterwards I dont really know if I did anything wrong, maybe bet harder on the flop to exclude the flushdraw from J Moneys possibly holdings ??? Any other ideas ? Bad push on the turn ??? I dunno, next time ill prolly bet the flop abit harder.

some additional thoughs:

maybe just call the turn, then when J Money pushes I can fold and save 40 bucks ??? Seems abit too advances for theese stakes, but It woulda been right given the circumstances and the reads...I woulda just felt like a DONKEY had I been wrong about J Moneys hand lol.

If you just call the turn and fold to a $40 push, you are playing extremely results oriented. (Rounded) turn betting alone would be 30x3 + 40 ~ 130. getting 4:1 with top 2 pair on a disconnected board will be a horrible laydown.

You forgot to add "Do you see why?"
