Default My favorite hand of last week.

I play 1000 hands a day, so this was my favorite hand out of 6000 I played last week(I take a day off a week). Of course it didnt win the most, I had much bigger hands, its just the way I played it that I enjoyed. A little history before the hand Villan1 had just lost a big pot when he flopped trip kings and a straight was possible on the turn and he didnt lay down the trip kings to the nut straight even when the nut straight check reraised himself all in. This was about 5 hands before this one so the psychological damage was going to come into play.

There was no qualifying low hand.

When I saw the turn I knew checking was the correct move because if I bet anyone that had been betting would just call me down and it would do nothing. But when I checked I started having second thoughts, why just call? This guy just got crushed by a straight on the turn, why not try and scare him by putting him in the same situation? And of course I went for it. This hand shows that paying attention at the table is very important, and even if I play 4 tables I am always paying attention. It also shows that sometimes a draw is strong enough to push on the turn, but I could be wrong. The turn play is very debatable, some might say, reraise? are you mad? but it was a weird situation that required a weird play. Feel free to critique because maybe it was the wrong move I just want to know, how would you guys have played this?
