Some people may be thinking how can he be upset about this?! he called an All-in with just low pair on a super scary board. That is the exact reason this hand is so sad. I made the right read, made the kwickfish-esque bravecall, and was not rewarded. A little insight into the hand...this guy and I had been going at it on multiple tables. He loved the $16 raise and I had been coming over the top of him repeatedly. I figured his flatcall and then insta-shove of my flop bet to be a frustration move and made the call.

Clearly this player had SOME outs - that's the nature of the game blah blah blah. However, these kind of hands can be very demoralizing (at least temporarily).
