Unlucky or victim of a donkey call?

[blodge99]

Hi,
Long time reader but first time poster.

The following hand happenend to me the other night and I'm still in shock.
Every Monday night I play in a homegame, 15/16 runners and normally a £20 freezeout, starting stack of 4k, 20 minute clock.
On monday I was chip leader on my table with around 7k. stacks were:
seat 1 - Button - 1900
seat 2 - SB - 2350
seat 3 - BB - 7250 ME
seat 4 - 4300
seat 5 - 800
seat 6 - 1900
Blinds were 50-100. UTG limped, seat 5 limped, SB made up the 100 chips. I had  . Raised it, making it an extra 400 to go. UTG called and the other 2 folded. Pot was 1200.
Flop was -     - Obviosuly I like my hand here.
The other player is a very loose passive player, not much raising but lots of calling.
I check to him, he bets out 600.
the only hand i'm losing to here is pocket 2's and dont put him on that so flat call.
Turn is    putting 3 diamonds on the board. I'm hoping that he has either hit his flush here, or at least has something like the  .
The pot is now 2400. I decide to check again. Player bets 1000.
I figure this to be quite a strange bet so raise it making it another 1400 for him to go. he instcalls making the pot 5200.
River is 
I hate this card here, as I can only put him on a jack now. I check again.
He pushes for the remainder of his chips and I call.
He turns over  giving him a bigger house than me.


What did i do wrong please? all comments will be greatly appreciated!!

Why fold after the flop?

[kinboshi]

Just unlucky. 

There are some hands to slow-play, yours was one.  It was just unfortunate they caught up.

Why do so many people post such unfriendly replies to others when they start threads like these?

Shouldnt comments be constructive, helpful and friendly rather than unwelcoming? Ok to most of us this hand shouldnt be on here but a new poster who probably doesnt have the experience most people have is trying to get a bit of advice and people are trying to shoot him down.

Agreed.  This board (or so I thought) is meant for people of all poker playing abilities.  What might seem a simple no-brainer to some of you lot is not going to be so for someone who doesn't have as much knowledge of the game.  In fact that is the whole point of this board!!!  Makes me wonder where the blonde spirit has gone when people ridicule posters looking for advice, especially newcomers.  Don't critise for the sake of it people, only do it when you have something constructive to back it up.

To the OP - Welcome to Blonde   Don't worry it's normally much more friendly than this...promise...And no you didn't do anything wrong, you just got unlucky.

Yes I agree with both.

If Blodge99 is looking to improve his poker skills then he has come to the right place. If he is looking to meet people, make new friends, and discuss the environment, I would suggest The Lounge is ftw. There is no real need to pussyfoot about telling someone there's nothing to see here. This is the first thing Blodge99 has learnt today. Pocket Lady agrees that Blodge99 just got unlucky in his hand, so what constructive advice can be given? New posters should beware that they have access to some of the greatest poker minds on the web at Blonde, FACT! So don't mess us about with just unlucky hands! Lesson 2 for Blodge99 today is that it is good to develop a thick skin for poker. Don't care what people say just develop your knowledge by using the board. So we can see that Blodge99 has actually learnt a lot from Blonde PHA today. He is a better player. The best thing is that he got all that for free. Well done Blodge. He doesn't learn anything if you tell him he got unlucky.

Welcome to Blonde Blodge99, don't be messin us with just unlucky hands.

Nah, I feel bad now about Blodge's hand. Just unlucky there Blodge.
