Jack on the River (cash)

BAD BEAT

This isn't a huge hand, but it turns out to be more interesting than at first glance. When I noticed that my opponent called the turn bet with a gut-shot straight, I thought he had more outs than what he really had. A gut-shot 5 would have indeed given him a straight, but it would have given me an even higher straight. That meant that he only had three jacks that were outs, and that is why he was just a 7% dog on the turn. Of course, knowing all this just made the bad beat even worse.
