Terrible beat

[thormx53]

Ahh, gotcha. Thanks.

2 more bad beats to add to the list. Was playing in a 20$ buyin with my neighbor and his friends (a lot older than me, they were like 40 and I'm 17) at a block party. I played good for an hour and a half, and there were 3 of us left (only 1 and 2 paid). I was 2nd in chips, and that was only by a few and because the chip leader stole blinds like 4 rounds in a row. I looked down at 9 7 clubs in the big blind, and me and the dealer saw the flop. J 5 2, all clubs. He bet, I called. Turn was red and insignificant, 6d I think. He bet, I raised three times what he bet, and he went all in (about half of my stack). I called him, saying I know he is on the flush draw but I already have it. Sure enough, he turns over Qc10s. As you could have guessed, the river was a club.

Next hand, I look down from the small blind and see pocket 9's. I raise it 3x the blind, the BB folds and the dealer (chip leader) calls me. By the way he acted, I thought he had either overs (K J, something like that, he was a pretty loose player). Flop comes down 10 3 4 rainbow. I bet out 3.5x the blind, and the dealer puts me all in. I think about it, and I notice he is covering his mouth and leaning forward. I smell weakness, and call him. As I turn my cards over I say " I know you don't have 10s, small pockets?". He flips over pocket 2's. Turn was a blank, and I bet you all can guess the river!

I really hate poker sometimes, haha.
