So I'm at a Casino that i go to every now and then, the game is no limit texas holdem, 1-2 dollar blinds.

I was playing very conservative all night, and established a tight table image. So im delt 66 and its limped around to me, I raise it 15 dollars. The guy next to me calls and everyone else folds.

The flop comes J86, so theres a flush draw and a pot of 46 dollars. Action is on me and I push all in, I dont like the diamonds and I'd be happy with whats in the pot right now. The guy next quickly calls, but keeps his hand hidden ( can players do this? I thought when two players are all in, both show, however I could be wrong), the turn comes like a 5 I can't remember, and the ******* rivers his king winning the hand.

I think I played the hand fairly well and he just made a bad call on the flop, however I figure you guys know more than I do on this.

In tourney play cards are turned up, in cash games it is entirely optional.

bbv is that way. And no, you played it bad.

OK, you must of remembered the hand wrong, because it had to been 3 way for pot to be 46$.

We have the nuts, we want value from flushdraws/Js/8s. Not just QQ/KK/AA, bigger set/j8.

bet about ~35, which sets you up to shove turn.

It's possible for this hand to have been played 2 way, although the OP doesn't give many specific details to shed light on the hand.

Consider for example an eight man table, with the OP playing from the SB. Six limpers ($12), and the OP in the SB raises $15, making it $17 to go. The pot at this point is $31 (the original BB, the SB's total bet of $17, and the six limpers' $12), with action on the BB. BB calls (+ $15), and limpers fold. That should do it. $46 pot.

I'm not sure if this is how the betting developed. Perhaps the OP can give a few more details, such as position.
