Should be in the bad beat thread, not the strategy forum IMO

Sounds like you came up against a super aggressive player there who somewhat got fortunate there mate. Raising initially was a bold move but calling your subsequent raise was even more so.

I dont think you did much wrong, although id have been a bit wary of him holding another 2 to hit trips.

[robilaruk]

what 2 would he be holding? A2 or 22?

both are poor calls PF and in general you shouldn't be worried about either of those holdings in this sort of hand - if he has quads then good luck, but the chaces are he hasn't - 99 or 66 are more likely, two medium PP he might raise with and then call a re-raise with (tho to call with the 66 is LAAG for me)

you played it fine MP - bad beat etc

i was worried more that he thought i was holding jack all, as i play short handed tables very aggressively.
from my perspective its hard to work out if thats the impression my betting gives off.
given its just happened again

I think you played this hand well too. Want to add tho, given what you just said about your play being aggressive short-handed (nothing wrong with that) - while I'm not exactly sold on it, I don't hate the call with 46c here either for $2 into that pot, bearing in mind your respective stacks. Mid-low suited connectors like that can make a lot of winning hands, most of which are well camouflaged, so if he's been watching you, and with him not knowing you have kings, he might have reason to expect the implied odds to see a flop here. Your flop bet was perfect - in general he should be raising you here to find out if his sixes are good, but you made it just the right amount that he'd be getting pot committed if he did so. His first really horrible call was the turn.

And if he did think you had nothing based on your betting, that says you bet it right - you want him to think you have nothing and make a bad call. You'll bust a bit more but there's way more value in getting calls like that vs folds in the long term. But I don't think he really had the info to think that - your pre-flop reraise sends out a pretty clear message, it'd have been a counter-intuitive time to get aggressive if you were just making a move.
