Here's a quick hand that I played terribly. The button had been raising and raising my blind. KQ is certainly a callable hand here - but if I think I'm ahead here, I should have raised. I contemplated that, but wanted to outplay him after the flop. That was dumb. In retrospect, I would like to have reraised. I bet into him - hoping to taking it right there. He raised, and I should have been done with the hand right there - but no, I wanted to outplay this guy who had been taking my blind and I put him on trying to outplay me. So I call. Then I bet into him again on the turn. He flat calls. I finally make top pair on the river and check hoping for a cheap showdown. Instead, he puts me in - and I call without a lot of thought. I'm not sure what I thought I could beat there, but perhaps I wasn't thinking.
