Trapping

[dachord]

Small stakes, no-limit, live game. 4 players left. Blinds are now 5/10. I don't have converter so bear with me:
SB: Me. Dealt a Qd5s.
BB: Villain. Very loose and aggressive. She's read a book or two, so thinks she's a really good player. Bets two times the BB.
CO: Best player in the game. Very solid, and often aggressive. Calls.
Button: Usually LAG, but is on the short stack and has become supertight. Calls.

I call.

Flop: 10s, 5d, 5h. I check. Villan comes in with 20. CO folds. Button calls. I call. I'm glad CO folds, he's my only worry. Button would normally raise at this point if he had something, so I'm not worried about him. I'm thinking Villain has paint and thinks nobody else has anything.

Turn: 2c. I check. Villain bets another 20. Button folds. I call.

River: 7h. I check. Villain goes all in and I call.

I win the pot with trips and put the villain out of the tournament. She makes a comment about my slow play and I replied that I intentionally played that way to trap her. She vehemently disagreed and insisted that my play was not a trapping maneuver, I was just slow playing the trips. We debated a bit about it, but she kept her opinion and I kept mine.

My question to all the two plus two players: Who is right?

Fold PF. Yes that was a trap.

Normally, I would agree. However, my chip count was twice the amount of second place and I felt that I could afford to see the flop.

never mind that. why on earth would you ever see that flop with q-5?

I figured that I would get some critcism over that. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Normally, I wouldn't play a q-5. But, this particular player that I wanted to trap was coming in with nothing hands and making ridiculous plays. Also, when the hand was folded to her, she had an annoying habit of critiquing everyone's play and bragging about herself. I wanted to take her down and was willing to take a risk to see the flop. The tourney was down to 4 players with yours truly having a sizeable stack. My goal was to elminate her because she was such a loose cannon. The other 2 players were too short stacked to do anything to her, IMH0. I felt confident that I played a classic trap, but Miss Know-It-All disagreed.

Another female poker player going all-in with practically nothing on the river. No way. No way.
