Hi all,

Can you critique this play and tell me whether it was correct or not. The table had been pretty tight and the Villain seemed solid enough (i.e. I had not seen him play too many hands or get involved in many pots post flop.

fold the turn.
You bet two pair and he still told you no good. If you had a set here this is fine with two pair its boarderline bad IMO.

78s 666,999 are all hands that beat you here.

Miffed,

I know your right and deep down I knew this at the time but I just could not let it go. Its good to be told sometmes though.

It happened 3 times more where I had a reasonable hand (Overpair) and couldn't let it go when I was told I was beat. Each time it was by another overpair bigger than mine. This is definately something I need to work on.

Needess to say this is an expensive lesson, well it has been for me!

Cheers
