I'm pretty lost on FTP, the players are very very tight and trappy compared to what I'm used to. So I'm steaming a little after getting slowplayed by top two pair (what?) and I decide to sit at 'stars. I know I butchered this hand but check THIS guy out:

The only part of that hand that confuses me is why he called your $2.25 reraise. Everything else seems fine, preflop a suited connector is worth a raise if your an aggressive player, the flop blew for him, but he made a continuation bet which made sense. You raise, he had no pair, no draw and he calls, I don't get that one, maybe he thinks you are on a flush draw and he can pick up the hand later on if no heart comes by making a big raise on the river. The turn actually helps him, he picks up a double belly buster, a 4 or 8 makes him a straight, he has a few outs now to catch a big hand so he calls, makes some sense. The river, he doesn't hit, but no heart comes either, he makes his big bet hoping you were on the draw, you weren't.

haha,no doubt huh Damon? deanmoriarty on 'stars, come git some. It's obv. not too difficult.

I dunno WTF was up with my turn bet. I had no read on him but he'd been in most every hand so i guess I was fishing for a flush raise? Of course with my little wussy bet anyone and their grandmother can take it from me with a $10 raise. I suck really, really, REALLY badly.
