You havent played it wrong, you just got unlucky

Not a fan of minraising with them but at least you made a proper raise after he minrasied you back. Rest of hand is standard.

donkeyplop

keep playing them strong m8

that hand was just unlucky...................




fwiw i love a big pair.............

YOUNG_GUN

not a fan of min-raise either but good re-raise after his silly one lol

After that always going in unlucky he hit

In future i would say try get max possible pre-flop(knowing your opponent is key here), then if you get most pre your opponent will either miss more or you have crushed eg. against AJ with j high and will win the chips. easier to get away from if dangerous board and you know your opponent but if your a beginner just aim to get them all in and in future your learn the bad spots which is only way you can fold
