Just about an hour ago I had a 10 Jack suited pocket.

Top 3 Beginner Rooms

6, 9, 10 flops and I bet 2X the blind. The only other player in the hand calls. A 7 on the turn. I bet 4X blind and he calls again. Jerk gets a 7 on the river and shows a pocket 2, 7 unsuited!

Ugh!!

Comment:

Your opponent got very lucky in this hand. He called with his gut-shot straight draw on the flop, called again when he made thrid-pair on the turn, and hit trips on the river. You were actually an 84% favorite to win the hand on the flop.
