Yup, I get stacked there too.

definately, just a cold deck for you there.

You didnt raise enough after the flop...just making it 40 cents wont make people think twice... Had you done that (make it like $1 or $1.50 at that point), he might've reraised you a lot ealier, and you couldve saved yourself money by folding.
Either way, once you saw the river, all he needed was that one Ace of clubs, and you shouldve folded to that likelihood, based on the way he had played the entire hand beforehand.

Sorry dude. Hope you get the ace next time!

The only chaneg I may make is to call his re-raise, not re-re-raise....regardless he is getting the rest of your stack on the river. Not much you can do here.

This is one of those flush over flushes I was talking about a few threads ago when Beav said I was worrying to much. I think it was the Jd 4d thread from last week. I think this actually proves beav's case...why worry, you are going to get stacked anyway if he has the higher flush!

i think the biggest mistake i made playing that hand was not raising enough on the flop.. instead of raising to 40c, i should have made it 75c-1.00.. i think thats what got me bitten in the ass

If you think about it, only 1 flush beats you. Ask yourself what else he could have here: the answer is just about any flush, 2 pair (KT, K9?), etc. If you just figure he's got a flush, there's only 1 better than yours.

I bet that 3 out of 4 times you find yourself in this situation, you opponent turns over a hand you have beat.
