Not paying attention to the board

Here is a free lesson at my expense this guy was a drooler I knew my 2pr was good diid not even see I had been counterfeited by the board when the 3's paired just called it down with tunnel vision.

Whenever the board pairs a pair higher than the two pair you are holding and the bets keep coming better to get out of the way since any higher hand with a Ten in it is now ahead.

I like the check raise on the flop, but then you didn't lead out on turn, and when they bet into you again is where you failed to realize they had improved but not such an easy read because hard to see the 3 on turn as a threat because that would put them on T3 and thats not very likely. It was a big mistake poker wise but not so big for a human, lol.I can see how I would do the same thing and not realize until showdown and I am wondering why I didn't win and have to look at history, lmao, correction.... I been there ,done that , and wrecked that too. Good lesson reminder and at a great price too, thanks for sharing.

There are tricky situations when the pair on the table help the opponent to win. you're right, in such situations need much attention

Two pair on the flop is a situation that has cost me dearly in the past. Problem is its very hard to fold.

Well with only the 3 beating you and a gutt shot, you have good value to call the 72 cents on the river... i assume you kinda felt it that he caught up with that turn counterfieting you, but no shame in your game bro. if the 3 came on the river, the cooler hand is probably costing you even more. keep your head up and keep grinding big guy

Thats exactly what happened I had to look at how I lost the pot I saw his 10 and still thought I had the best hand with 2pr. It even to me like 30 seconds to figure it out.

Thats why you got to know the"nuts" on every street. If you can afford only one thing at the tables it better be that you "Pay Attention" lol. But we all have had our momentary lapses of judgement.
