Recently, I was in a MTT tournament and we were down to 2 tables with 11-12 players. A really short stack moved all-in and was folded around to me. I look down at 9c8c in the cutoff. I decide to call, with the Button calling as well. The flop comes 9d-2c-3h. I decide to bet 2x the BB and the Button folds. I drag my bet back in and the all-in player ends up winning the hand. After a few moments, the Button player decides to give me a 'poker lesson', saying that I shouldn't have bet there without the nuts - that I should've checked it down. I'm thinking, "What are you talking about?"
Questions: How was I to know if I had the 'nuts' or not? How was I supposed to know what the Button has there? Sure, I have ideas, but again, I was wanting to isolate and get the all-in, head-up.
I would love to hear any thoughts on this play. Mistake? Correct?
