WTF....chases a gut shot straight to the river and steals a $275 pot from me....

I don't see anything I did wrong here...just unlucky that the donkey caught his 4 outer...I mean, if he chases a flush draw, or and open ended straight, I can see it, but a gut shot....who chases gut shot draws at a $10/20 table? At least I got off the table with a profit this afternoon after this beat and another one a few hands later...

OK...so I know I'm pretty much beat here after the turn as I had a feeling someone had sucked out a set or straight, but had to play the Qs down to the river with this board. Would have never guessed that someone would call down a capped pot with 5h7h from the BB and then chase his top pair into a full house....and notice that Eddie once again hit a gutshot straight draw to at least get a piece of the pot...sickening play at a $10/20 table.

But like I said, I still ended up for the session, so that's all I can ask for I guess.

Happy New Year all....ttfn.
