Bwahaha I may have convinced strassa a fold is ok, or he just wanted me to shut up but here are my thoughts. Preflop my opponent could have just about anything suited as I don't think he was that strong of a player from what I saw (still early) and he only had to call 40 more after he limped. Flop he leads for 20, this typically could mean either a monster or a draw from a weak player, not sure what to make of the 2nd raise but I have to call so lets see a turn. Turn comes a T and he min bets again?!?!?! Ok I think if he had JT he'd make somewhat of a real raise, maybe he still has a monster as in a set and is hoping for another reraise but I don't think that is too likely. So now I have a hand I can go to the felt with, I acted a little too quickly and didn't bet as much as I should with my read of him having a draw, but I still gave him incorrect odds with my raise, he calls INSTANTLY. River completes the flush and also gives my opp trips if he has a JT type hand. I really can't see my opponent betting this as a bluff no matter what people say, so the two most likely hands were JT or the flush. One thing that tipped it was that he bet instantly and it just screamed he wanted value on his flush even though it seemed like it was obvious he was chasing it, but I have to call a half pot now right? Well adding it up I just went with my gut and folded, another thing that tipped in towards folding was that I tend to play more frustrated if I make bad plays early and I was already the victim of a 3 outer that orbit and I didn't want to go against my gut and implode shortly after. Ended up going pretty far but took a bad beat (yeah yeah whine whine) near bubble that would have made me a real contender. Oh well such is poker.
