See what I did there? King came on the river... making me a higher straight. Although I played this horribly... man does it feel good to be on the lucky side for once. If i had bet around ~2-2.5.. i'd have around 7.80-8 dollars left by river in a $6-6.40 pot... so i'd probably check behind, or fold to a large bet... knowing i was beat by a made two-pair or better. I was kinda tilty making this play, as I was taking beats the whole week. One of the opponents was pretty fishy, so I was expecting him to call with a lower pair of some sort.. the other one was a tight passive. The opposite of what i wanted happened. The fish folded, and the tight passive decided to call my PFR and flop second-nuts. Luckily for me, Pokerstars was feeling generous and decided to rig the hand in my favor. I probably would have wanted to kill myself after losing this lol.
