Learn Texas Holdem

I was playing a couple weeks ago at a local bar, just a sit and go game, like I normally play a couple times a week.

Just after the second break im sitting on around $18k in chips, I look down to see Ad5d, im before the dealer (late position) and only one other caller, so I flat call the 1k blind, button calls, so does SB and BB checks.

FLOP: K A 4 - rainbow, SB checks, BB fires out 5k, I know how this guy plays, picking him on a King, then guy before me insta-calls, im thinking to myself, what's going on here, I raise to 10k, button folds, so does SB and BB, but I get one caller. turn - 2 - still a rainbow board, guy checks, I check, river - 3, I make a straight, guy checks, I push all-in, he snap calls me, I flip my cards and reach for the pot, he then flips over 5 6, I couldn't believe it, after the push on the flop, he calls on nothing and hits runner runner for a straight!

After he received a bit of abuse from everyone at the table we started up again, I still had about 2k left so push all-in the next hand blind, I got 3 callers, one being the guy who had just given me the bad beat. flop - A A K, everyone checks, Turn J, rainbow board, the guy bets out and pushes everyone out, im picking him on an A or K, knew he didn't have the straight, we flip cards, I have 10 2, he shows K Q, I river a Q At least I got some back off him have had a better run since then, hope it keeps going!
