Final Pot: t1120

One of the biggest weaknesses in my game is that I concentrate too much on my own cards without thinking about the hand my opponent might have. Consequently I rarely fold a strong hand even when the betting suggests I'm beaten. Never before in my life have I folded a full house in Hold'em.

My thinking after the raise on the turn was that MP1 wouldn't have called the flop without some kind of hand. So he held a 7, ace, or pocket pair. I could see him calling the turn with a 7 or pocket pair, but not raising with them. So I concluded he must have an ace and I folded.

Of course now I think that if he had an ace why would he raise me all-in. He could make a minimum raise and I might bite. Or I might even reraise thinking the mini-raise was a bluff. I also think now that he might've gone all-in with a 7. This is what I call a panic all-in. Where the player has the nuts at one point, slowplays, no longer has the nuts, and then goes all-in hoping to take down the pot that was supposed to his in the first place.

Should I have checked on the turn? Will a hand that can't beat me call a turn bet? Perhaps better to check the turn and maybe induce a bet or a call from a weaker hand on the river. What do you think? Thanks.
