I was extremely bad beaten and I don't know what I did wrong...
Blinds were (after currency change) about 10/20 dollars...
my hand: 6 8 suited. I called preflop the 20 dollars.
someone reraised it to 80 dollars ! I called because of if I get "the hand" I am lucky... I could afford if I lose.
Flop: A 6 5.
I had the middle pair. My opponent raised to 180 dollars. It was obvious that he didnt have the ace.
I had about 700 dollars left... maybe now my mistakes come: I went ALL in.
he thought a long time and CALLED. Cards were flipped over.
He showed 4 5 suited !!
Turn was 3; now he had an open straight draw but also a flush draw (1 suit was the A at the flop and now the 3 had the same suit).
I hoped that the river won't be 2,5,7 or a spade....
the river was 7 + spade.... he didnt won because of his straight but because of his flush !!
I was so sure he was bluffing from the beginning. Actually I was correct with my thoughts but at the end it didn't help.
Was it a mistake to go ALL IN after the flop? if I just had called, he would have raised the turn for sure because he had the open end straight and the flush draw...
Should I reraise to 500 dollars instead of going ALL in ?
Maybe you tell me it was a bad call from the beginning; maybe yes. but I was so sure he didnt have such good cards. Sometimes you feel it by his betting in previous games.
I have to add: it was NO heads up. 1 called preflop for 10 dollars and folded the 80 dollars.... the guy with his 4,5 and myself were NO blinds (I was one seat before him to do the decision and called the 10 dollars)....

posting it once in Online Poker or in Basic Theory Discussion is more than fine =)
It's just that most people read all of the sub-forums, here, so you really don't have to repeat yourself.

thanks for this information. I wanted to have an answer ASAP because i cannot sleep since then (2 days). I can afford my loss of this amount; it is just annoying that I knew he was bluffing and I lost because of turn and river.
why did he call alltough he knew he was bluffing?
