-Don't show the results.
-Your M is less than 10, just shove preflop.
-If you insist on raising preflop that isn't all-in, you should probably raise to like 9K, and shove 95% of flops. Your stack just isn't deep enough to try and play past the flop.

Like c9 said, your M is just a little more than 6 (and your effective M is even less), so a shove pre-flop is fine. As played, there's not really anything you could do-- he's really not getting odds to draw to the straight when you move all-in, which is good for us in the long run. I mean, you could shove on the flop, but that's gonna force him to fold when we want some value. It's just unlucky.

I think you played it good. You let him pay the maximum to see the river. Dont know really what he was doing calling 2 streets. You just ran into an idiot that got lucky

I have no idea what the guy is doing calling with 10,9 with a backdoor straight and flush. Should have shoved on that flop, it looks a bit like a c-bet and as such I suppose the guy called to see what happened on the turn and as such caught an up and down straight draw.

well maybe shove all-in on the flop to put the most pressure on for a fold i think with your stack there was enough in the pot to want to end it on the flop.what the hell he was calling you for i don't know. your just a victim of a bad play gone good i think...and who knows if he called that on the flop with what he had he might have called a shove so i don't think the out come could have been avoided

Nothing else needs to be said. Villain still may have called but why give them multiple chances to draw for such a small portion of their stack.

Out of courtesy to Rounder13 and those participating in hand analysis, let's skip the discussion of whether or not sites are rigged, shall we?
