Default Re: RESULTS - Am I still missing something???

You're right--your play was (highly) questionable, and his call is beyond ridiculous. His wife must have had dinner on the table and a rolling pin hovering over his head.
On the other hand, what the hell were you thinking? If you know that his call is absurd, that would infer that you also know that the only times you are called, he has to be holding, oh, say an absolute minimum of oh, say, A8.
Why do you want to put all your chips into the pot with a hand that will lose a high percentage of the time the bet is called? Was it...the prospect of picking up the blinds?
I don't care how bad his call is here (and it IS bad). Your bet is awful. This is best illustrated by the fact that he made a "bad" call, and was granted the gift of being only a slight dog.
Do you EVER want a call here? No. You want the blinds.
Imagine how you'd feel if he'd made a "good" call.
Oh, yeah. "Unlucky." As opposed to "mad." Either way, you're on the rail.
You're just risking too much for too little.
