if you had 3-bet preflop you likely would have taken the pot down on the flop or turn, given your read, either by betting when checked to or raising when bet into.)

This thinking process grows out of an even more common problem around these forums: all opponents are donks, morons, morans, or fish. This isn't true. I don't know where you are in your progress in learning the game, but these "fish" certainly kicked my ass around the felt for a couple of months before I started trying to learn to play the game. And, just because an opponent doesn't play their two cards the way you, I, or most of the players in this forum would, doesn't mean that you're going to win.

This post boils down to a bad-beat, from your perspective, whether MP1 had the best hand or not (and, by the way, he had you beat), because you're focused on what a horrible player he is. From my perspective, thought, you played worse in this hand than he did.
