Re: Did I run into an expert?
My problem with that is you are building a pot that will be very hard to get away from against a stack that can bust you out. I think a decent raise as you say on the flop is very dangerous. So many people who would drop the draw on the turn will not do so on the flop.
If I'm villian, my thoughts would be, "He's priced himself out for the draw, so raising only builds the pot. I've got position, so I'll wait for a blank on the turn and raise it up." Hero's full pot bet on the turn, I would have been "What the H*** does he have? I'm 99% sure I'm ahead here." But the only way I'm really giving him bad odds at this point is a push (Which is what I would do here). My guess at this point was villian was seeing monsters, but couldn't give up his set.
Later,
