    Default 25NL... two pair on flop

    Hands like these are destroying me! And it seems like my poker career is FULL of stuff like this.... The results are below

    MP1 is 20/14
    MP2 is 14/12

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Button ($9.25)
    SB ($10.85)
    Hero (BB) ($23)
    UTG ($30.70)
    UTG+1 ($22.55)
    MP1 ($25.25)
    MP2 ($10.10)
    MP3 ($6.10)
    CO ($16)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with J, 10
    2 folds, MP1 raises to $0.75, 1 fold, MP3 calls $0.75, 2 folds, SB calls $0.65, Hero calls $0.50

    Flop: ($3) 4, 10, J (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $2.10,

    MP1 raises to $4.20, MP3 raises to $5.35 (All-In), 1 fold, Hero calls $3.25, MP1 calls $1.15

    Turn: ($19.05) 8 (3 players, 1 all-in)
    Hero bets $11, MP1 raises to $19.15 (All-In), Hero calls $5.90 (All-In)

    River: ($52.85) 5 (3 players, 3 all-in)


    What do you guys think of the turn bet specifically?

    Results:


    MP3 shows JJ making a set
    SB shows AA making the nut-flush
    After this hand, I had to quit my session because its just unreal how often I catch two pair or better and get screwed because of it. When I lay down my bigger hands, (mostly overpairs...I've added this to my game) it always feels. But w/e, poker really really sucks right now...uber frustrated... I need to go pick on some small children because I feel so belittled right now. ego=crushed

    after MP3 reraises all in on flop i jam to push out the multitude of draws. didn't look at results but judging from your complaint i'm guessing you were up against a set (which is kind of a cooler imo) or got sucked out on on the turn.. i prob check/fold turn after just calling flop (except i don't think i'd ever ever just call flop).

    (after looking at results) take note that MP1 minraises strength into field and SB is a station, chalk it up to variance and move on i think. no doubt frustrating as fk.

    You are getting ridiculous odds to call here preflop so I don't mind it too much. On the flop, it's a very drawish board, so I'm betting full pot ($3) and shoving over any kind of raise. We want to get it in now while we have an edge over those straight and flush draws. If someone has a set (5 total combinations possible with your blockers), gg them. If they have a draw or an overpair and hit the card they need to beat you as you miss your 4-outer to the nuts, bad luck you, but you got your money in good. The only draw that you're a dog to is KQ... you even have better equity than K9.

    So yeah, get it on the flop, especially multi-way, and when you lose, say "Oh well, bad luck. I played good."
