No, you played it right. You bet strong throughout. The other player decided to invest a good hunk of their stack to chasing the straight and got lucky on the river. If anything, I might have raised more pre-flop.

not much you could have done,a bigger pre flop raise may have got you the blinds but who wants to win cents with those cards.After that flop i would have went all in i guess the turn just gave him too many options to fold but the end result would probably been the same.

He made a bad call on the flop getting only 2:1 odds to hit his flush draw. However he picked up an open-ended straight draw on the turn giving him 15 total outs (9 remaining diamonds and 3 8's and 3 K's) He had a 32% chance of hitting on the river and he is getting 3.06:1 odds for hitting his hand. He had 11.4:6.15 odds to call or 1.85:1 odds to call. He made a mistake and in the long run you will win here more often than you will lose. Shit happens...

Implied odds

He made a bad call on the flop getting only 2:1 odds to hit his flush draw. However he picked up an open-ended straight draw on the turn giving him 15 total outs (9 remaining diamonds and 3 8's and 3 K's) He had a 32% chance of hitting on the river and he is getting 3.06:1 odds for hitting his hand. He had 11.4:6.15 odds to call or 1.85:1 odds to call. He made a mistake and in the long run you will win here more often than you will lose. Shit happens...

Just some questions here:

On his original call he only gets 2:1 on his money, but his chances of making the flush (combining the turn and river) is 1.86:1 or 35%. Not the worst call. Also, if he factors in implied odds then he can justify this price. His call on the turn gives him odds of 2.07:1, not 3.06:1. So again, not a great call but not the biggest mistake ever either.

Is this the correct way to figure in implied odds? If it is, can't implied odds just be used as a justification for chasing longshots?

If you factor in "implied" odds in NL which is what you think you will win you can justify just about any call in the heat of battle. Since implied is a "guess". Anyways I like putting hands like this up to illustrate good and bad aspects of poker. Mostly bad though LOL
