Bad play or bad luck?

[ThePro19]

Just played a 6pak on littlewoods. 3rd hand I got KJ. I've got 978 chips (was on BB 1st hand and SB 2nd hand... had to fold both pre-flop). Called the BB of 15. Flop comes K J 10. One player bets minimum of 15. I raise to 150. Get called by another player. First player then goes all-in for 985, just more than me. I call. 3rd player folds. He shows J10. 4th card - 3 (I think). 5th card - 10. Bad play of bad luck? The next game (6pak again), again a few hands in, I get 22. I'm first to play so I raise to 250 hoping to scare everyone off. I would normall fold 22, but as it's only 6 players and I'm first, decided to play it. Get called by one player. Flop comes 456. With the flop so low, I've got to think I'm ahead. If he'd had a pp I'm sure he'd have raised. I go all-in (I've got about 250 chips more than he has). He calls. He shows 34d. Same question, bad play or bad luck? But more importantly, HOW THE HELL CAN SOMEONE CALL 250 with a 34! I bet that was the worst had of the 6 players. This is what makes internet poker sooooooooooooo ******** crap. I just wish I could give it up and do something more worthwhile.

Re: Bad play or bad luck? My thoughts? Bad luck on the first hand... you were ahead on the flop but he probably thought he was too as he was also holding 2 pair... he just got lucky on the river. 2nd hand I'm less sure about. There were always going to be overcards on the flop and you really needed another 2 to get out. The flop suited your opponent better. Unfortunately, a big raise doesn't always scare people off as we all know to our cost! :lol If you had no reason to think the other guy would go with you then it may have been a decent call but if he's played liked that on previous hands then you should have binned them. :ok
