OK where exactly did I go wrong here? I was quick to say that this was just bad luck but I have found two possible mistakes on my part. 1) only limped in preflop. a raise might have pushed xandy.. out. (the way he was playing it might have provoked an all-in out of him also which if I called would have had the same result and if I folded he just bullied me out of my raise) OK mistake #2) should I have waited for the river to go all-in and then I would have seen the pair on the board. Should he have called my all in with trip 3's and a flush on the board. Given our relative chipstacks I think he was ok to call though. Obviously I wanted him to. What are the odds of the board pairing on the river if you have a set? That's 10 outs (3 for three of the cards and 1 for one of them (which would actually give you quads)) out of 46 unknown cards. 10/46=.21 or about 1 in 5. Quads would obviously be 1 in 46. Correct?

Raise preflop, raise flop, don't overbet turn, you got unlucky that someone boated on the river. No need to overanalyse this, you got all the money in with the nuts on the turn. If you're hesitant to go allin with the nuts, you shouldn't play poker (hold em, at least, with other forms of poker you could make a case for folding the nuts I guess).

you're right. A second look tells me he only had 2 pair on the turn and was a 10 to 1 underdog. He only had 3 outs not 10. (two queens and the last 3) I'm going back to my original analysis of bad luck. thanks for responding.

played it fine, unlucky situation for the nut flush

It wouldn't really matter. Even if he had 10 outs on the river you should always be willing to go allin. On every $ you put in your return is over 1.5$ on average. I'd take that investment any day of the week!

You played it fine, you won the pot, didn't you?
