This needs to go in the "bad beats" section. The guy called a 3bet with 56 pop, and then donked middle pair on the flop - and called the all in shove following. You wouldn't be asking us if this guy was a fish or not had you won the hand. Dont doubt yourself, this guy put his stack in the middle with 2nd pair and some back door draws - that's about as fishy as it gets. You got him to do what you wanted - put his chips in while you had the goods - it just didnt work out for you. Losing when you are a big favorite sucks but it isnt bad! Keep doing this over and over and over and you will be winning more of these pots then you are losing.

For sure it was not well played by the Villain, but its not even really a bad beat either. Villain had 40% equity preflop and 27% on the flop, so its not like, its completely out of the ordinary, that Hero lost this hand. In fact Hero is supposed to lose fairly often, and this was just one of those times.
So really this hand is about entitlement. Hero was ahead, and the Villain played bad, and therefore Hero feels entitled to win. But this is not, how poker work. The best hand or the best player dont always win, and to succeed in poker we need to stop worrying about the outcome or our opponents decisions.
The only thing, that matter, is our own decisions, and in this hand I think, they were completely fine. 3-bet with AKs obviously fine, staking off TPTK in a 3-bet pot when donked into obviously fine. So everything is perfect here other than the runout, and runouts dont even matter. They are just boring distractions, and if they bother you, then dont even watch them!

Thanks!
I understand that was badbeat and I played as correct as I can. I want to understand what kind of CC players is villain - good or bad to mark it correctly. Or can good player play as my villain in that case?
