A perfectly executed check-raise

Last night, I recorded another 0th place, but in a much different fashion from the night before. I was playing well, and should have doubled up on my final hand. Here's how it went down:

- I flopped an open-ended straight draw, bet it, and got one caller

- I hit the low end of the straight on the turn, and checked

- my opponent bet, I raised all in, and my opponent called

- my opponent was on a flush draw, making me a favorite

- my opponent hit his flush on the river

The fact that I hit the rail in no way diminishes the perfection of my check-raise. Cold comfort, but sometimes that's the only kind the poker gods will give you :-)
