Default Must...not...tap...glass... (low content)

So, I'm playing a 22 on Pokerroom. Second or third hand, guy raises to 100 (it's 10-20) with AJs, gets three callers. Flops xAA with two hearts. He bets 100 (pot's ~400). Third heart comes on the turn. He bets, gets raised, loses most of his stack to a flush.

Then we get the whining about how he did everything right and still got screwed. How most people would have checked their trip As on the flop, but no, he bet out with them.

I'm restraining myself from pointing out how he made just about every possible mistake, but it's difficult.

k, Im kinda new, the biggest glaring mistake I see is the WEAK flop bet. god, the pot odds, I might have even reraised with the flush for value, in case original bettor hit the x.

I am HORRIBLE at early levels of STT's, would someone smarter comment with a better way to play this pf?

That's it exactly. He flopped great but dangerous, then invited the heart draw to come along. Then he called off most of his stack when the third heart came.

Check/fold the turn he's made a t200 mistake. Instead he made it a t1200 mistake.

It can be hard to resist when they whine in the chat.

If anyone is tempted to table coach, they should add more tables, post more here while they play, watch a movie while they play or porn. Keep adding things until you are too busy to chat.

I get WAAAY worse in the $5+.50s. Sometimes I can't resist typing a mysterious lol or something. There's actually a regular horrible player on bodog 5.50s, that I've probably played with 5 or 6 times. He plays very few hands and overbets the pot with a great hand--he'll open to like 500 when blinds are 10/20. While he's doing this, he criticizes people for playing just about any hand other than QQ+, AK. He also saw me get outdrawn once with KK and criticized me for not betting enough (I'm 99% sure he was wrong on this one [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]).
