    I was playing a 180 4.40 on PS last night (after I busted out of home game tourney) and busted out with pocket kings. I should have seen what was happening but I was in love with my hole cards. Not a bad beat story just lesson learned (again).

    You played the hand horribly that's all. Raise more preflop, bet more on the flop. Don't try and slow play hands like this because exactly what happened to you, WILL happen to you.

    Expecting a juicy post about how your wife fleeced you for everything and slept with your dad, but instead I found a post on poker.

    u play it just slow enough to let him into the hand, make his two pair, and then you let him pump up the pot and get everything you have behind, wp.
