Ok. Can someone help me out here?
Maybe

I'm the big blind and my stack is the third shortest. I'm dealt Js, 10s. Everyone calls and no one raises the big blind.
How many is everyone?
t1riel said:
I check(as I reflect on this move I think I should have raised).
Again, depends on how many limpers you're up against. I'd raise against 1 maybe 2 limpers and follow with a continuation bet unless the flop shows high cards. You'd have to pay top dollar to scare away more than that. In your position I check too.
t1riel said:
The flop comes 7h, 10h, 10d. Great! Three of a kind
Chuckle. How quaint. Last time I called it that I was playing 5 card draw for matchsticks.
t1riel said:
Now, I go all in because I didn't want to get burned with a flush.
I like this move. It smells like a steal. I rairly slow play anything. I'll typically put in a good size bet and check the turn. I looks like a failed continuation bet. Personally, I would have let you have it.

butThe first player to my left folds. The next player thinks and says "If you have a ten, that's a stupidest thing you could have done." I say nothing.... He thinks for about two minutes and constantly looks at me thinking. Finally, he calls.
So he thinks you're full of flapdoodle. But what about the rest of the table?
t1riel said:
Hey! How'd he do that?
t1riel said:
Now to add suspense to the whole thing. He shows me a 7d and leaves the other card face down. To humor him, I show my Js. He refused to show the other one so I didn't wither. The turn is a Qh. Still doesn't show it and neither do I. The turn is Kd. Well, I know he doesn't have the flush. He says he has the ten, making the boat.
Suspense? That's like bragging about the size of your tallywacker, when your hung like a hampster. The truth will be known.

I reveal my 10. He faces drops and shows his card, which is a 4c. Then, he tells me it was the stupidest move in poker and I should have slow played it. He walks away from the table upset. Now, I agree with him to a point. But, I wouldn't call it the stupidest move.
You do? I was going to complement you on a good read and a bold move. I guess that makes me stupid too. But not the stupidest.

I love these. They're really just bad beat posts with a twist. People love to pretend that they're asking for advice when what they really want is everyone to agree how moronic the other guy was.
Did you really expect someone to take Mr. Needle Dicks side on this?

Guess you have never read the advice "never slow play a set"
Never? First to act, no overcards, no obvious draws, against one or two opponents. If not here, when? It's more dangerouse to slow play a flush.
