I didn't read the articles yet or pass the quiz. So this is my own strategy. I feel I did everything right and protected my hand. But maybe I should have gone all-in at the flop instead of going all-in at the turn.

What would the SSS strategy says and what with the BSS strategy says?
What did I do wrong? Or was it a bad beat?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (8 handed)

BB ($3)
UTG ($2.02)
UTG+1 ($5.71)
MP1 ($4.66)
MP2 ($1.82)
CO ($1.98)
Button ($2.95)
SB ($5.51)

Preflop:
UTG calls $0.02, 1 fold, MP1 calls $0.02, 3 folds, SB completes, BB raises to $0.04, UTG calls $0.02, MP1 calls $0.02, SB calls $0.02.

Flop: ($0.16) 7s, Js, Kc
(4 players)
SB bets $0.16, BB raises to $0.32, UTG folds, MP1 folds, SB calls $0.16.

Turn: ($0.80) Ah
(2 players)
SB bets $0.5, BB raises to $1, SB raises to $5.15, BB calls $1.64 (All-In).

River: ($6.08) 6c
(2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $6.08

Results in white below:
BB has Kd Kh (three of a kind, kings).
SB has Tc Qc (straight, ace high).
Outcome: SB wins $8.59.

I do not know who you are in this hand and therefore I do not know what hand you had.
If you were the BB you have to raise much more preflop (around 8 or 9 cent). On the flop raise 3 or 4 times of the bet the SB is shooting here, to give Straight/Flushdraws behind you wrong Pot Odds.


I am 'BB' in this hand. The big blind.

Hi Mystrapoker!

I strongly recommend that you read our strategy articles first and start with the SSS before you are sitting down at the tables again! Concerning your hand: Raise more preflop ($0.10) and even on the flop (~$0.55-$0.70) to protect your hand. On the turn it's an easy all-in.

Good luck at the tables!

This is what I should have done according to the SSS.

Hi Mystrapoker,

Just so you know, you can't play SSS at NL2. At NL2, you have to buy-in with $2, which is a big stack. If you want to play SSS, you have to play NL10 and buy in with $2.

Hope that helps,
