Re: Did I run into an expert?
With the pot bet on the flop Villian really has no reason to think you are on a flush draw. Very few players will bet a draw that hard. In his mind, if he was thinking, was that you were holding top pair, or overpair, trying hard to drive out the draws. Think about it. He is against the other big stack, holding middle set, on a flush draw. With those bets he has to feel he is ahead, or at least has outs. But with the draw on the board, he may feel it costs him too much to get you to drop a hand that you really seem to like, so he decided to keep the pot small until he saw the board.
Or he was simply a donk who never even saw past the 9 on the flop and was going to slowplay it no matter what.
