So, I sat down at a $1-$2 NL table at the new Havanna Tower at Trop... which by the by matches up to, if not better than, Borgata.
And in the big blind, I catch Q-Q. At a loose table, I get 4 callers, so I raise it up to $12. Two call.
Flop comes 2 low clubs and A-spades. I bet out $10 to test the water (if somone had an A, I SURELY would have been raised, at this table).
Both call.
The turn comes Q. Giddy up... trips. So, I check. Behind me checks. Next guy leads out with $100, putting me all-in. He can only have A-A to lead the hand, or he's betting on-the-come with 4 to the flush.
So I call, the guy behind me folds. I turn over my Qs, and he turns over a pair of 7s. He's drawing dead.
A few hands later he ask's "why did you check your trips?", which to me, seems like a LUDACRIS question. I reply, "so you would bet into me"... LOL... he says "oh."
Later that night, I see the 3rd guy involved in the hand, who folded on the turn... he asks me the same thing! His reasoning was "if you bet even $30, he probably folds, and you don't have to worry that he can make a flush".
Is it me, or is that the goofiest poker logic ever?? My theory is, if someone is gonna bet needing a miracle 4th spade to make a flush.... well, shame on him for moving in on my made hand! Cause that's what I want him to do.
Thoughts?
