File under: definitely bad beat / cooler

My nuts were slow roasted!

I have the nut flush!!!!  How can I lose?  This hand kinda pisses me off - but I think it's just a vanilla cooler.  The topper is he's not even fully stacked.

We're heads up sitting on $43.20 effective at a $0.25/0.50 table.  Villain is in the SB and I'm in the BB.  I've been beating him handily; I'm up $7 and change on him.  He opens to $1.50 and I flat Ac9c.

$3.00 in the middle and I flop magic - JcQcKc.  I shit you not when I say this but I did consider the following during the hand: I love that I have a blocker to the straight flush, meaning that only precisely Tc9c can beat me here.  And I have a re-draw to the straight flush with the Tc if my opponent happens to suck out on me.  Unexcitedly, the hand checks through.

3s (blank) on the turn.  I need to get money in if we're going to stack our opponent.  I lead full pot, $3.  He calls.

6s (another blank) on the riv with $9 in the middle.  I have no hope of stacking him, but he did call a full pot on the turn.  I lead pot again, $9 on the river hoping for a call.  To my chagrin, he ships it, $38.70.  I snap it off and am shown the bad news: Tc9c.

Ugh!  $85.40 lit on fire :-(
