** Dealing Flop ** [ 7c, Qh, 2s ]
blong2 bets [$1].
BurdTurglar raises [$8]. <--- Ok, I like the flop, but I don't love it. I'd be very happy to see everyone fold here.
MurphR77 folds.
bruce192 raises [$32.60]. <--- Well, that's not exactly what we had in mind. He has to have a set, right? If he does then I am looking at half the pot, unless either my backdoor wheel or flush draws hit. But wait, there's more!! In PAHud it shows the guy has an 85% vpip and a w@sd of 47%. I think I have to call based on that, he could have 2 pair or something that I just might be a favorite against. That and I'm getting moderately decent odds (off the top of my head it was $32 to win $50). So I decide to push.
blong2 folds.
BurdTurglar is all-In [$40]
bruce192 calls [$15.40].
< --- Of course, about 1/3 of a second after I hit the 'push' button I realize that I am a total moron and can't calculate on winning the full pot when I have a draw to low and slim chances for high. I smack myself on the forehead and see this....
** Dealing Turn ** [ 3c ]
** Dealing River ** [ 4c ]

I guess every once in a while you will make a really poor decision and get lucky, but I really don't like how poorly I thought this one through.

bruce192 shows [ 9d, Qs, Qd, 8h ] three of a kind, queens. <--- At least I had that part right.
BurdTurglar shows [ Ts, Ac, 2c, 3s ] a flush, ace high.
BurdTurglar shows 7,4,3,2,A for low.
BurdTurglar wins $51 from the main pot with a flush, ace high.
BurdTurglar wins Lo ($51) from the main pot with 7,4,3,2,A.

If you believe in Karma then that was either retribution for a bad beat I took, or that means I have one coming my way. I hope it's the former, but I deserve the latter.

This is the exact reason I don't like raising A2XX OOP. I agree with TG, with people left to act after you I think that raise is a little too aggressive.
