Not Pretty

I wasn't able to get the hand history on this one. Here's the breakdown of it.

I was on the button with AcKc. A guy in early position raises, and it's folded to me, so I 3 bet it. He caps it and I call.

The flop is Tc2c2s. I figure that's not too shabby. He bets out, I raise, he re-raises, and I cap it.

I'm not putting him on TT, because he's a pretty tight player that wouldn't go that crazy preflop. I put him on big noises, most likely QQ or JJ, since AA or KK are more unlikely, since I have AK.

The turn is a Ks. Now I figure I'm money. He checks (I dance in my seat), I bet, he check-raises me (I start to cry). I call, now figuring that he may very well have KK, but again, how likely is it? I only call because I'm not exactly sure where I stand.

River is an Ah. Great, now I have top 2 pair. He bets, I make a crying call.

What did he have? Everyone at once now: Cowboys. My jaw dropped, and I cringed as he took down the pot.

Did I play this hand wrong? I really dont' think so. I think that I minimized my losses there. I could have laid it down when he check raised me on the turn, but I think that would have been pretty weak.

Keep on keepin' on
