Exposed hand

Clear this up for me if you will....

I was playing in a multi live tourney. 2500 in starting chips and the blinds were at 300-600. I'm in the BB with about 6k in chips left. 5 callers (3k in the pot).

Dealt Q9o. I check.

Flop: J 10c 8c

At this point I've got the nut and I'd be more than happy to take it down right there. Bet $1500. 1 raiser behind me to $3k. I move all in with the rest of my $5400. After a long time she calls and shows J 10o. Great....until the 10 turned!

I've replayed this in my head numerous times. I've thought I should have shown my hand following my all in.

Did I play it too slow? Could I have shown the nut (was it legal)? What do you think?

You seem very confused. You WANT people calling your allins with 4 outs.

It should be legal, but evidently isn't in a lot of tournaments.

But far more important, it would be stupid. Don't talk someone out of a call when you have the nuts. Ever.

Oh man.

1) your hand would be dead
2) why wouldn't you want him to call with a 4 outer?? You are 85% to double up
3) do you want your opponents to have easy decisions or hard ones?
4) The fact that you are even pondering this means you have such a lack of understanding of poker, that I don't even know where to begin.
5) Don't be results oriented. Its very very very very very bad.
6)Read theory of poker by Sklansky right away.
7)Repeat step 6.

So you don't want to extract as much as possible with the hand that's probably going to be best? I realize there's a flush draw out there, but this is an easy check/raise for me. You don't give your position, but we know someone felt like betting, so it's likely. Then your push is correct. I want as much money in the pot before I push here.

You got her to call with 4 outs to beat you. She hit one of her 4 outs. Getting her to call a push is exactly what you want, 100 out of 100 times.

A lot of card rooms will rule your hand dead if you do this. It depends where you are. But more to the point WHY WOULD YOU EVER SHOW SOMEONE YOU HAVE THEM DESTROYED?

I want my 5 minutes of my life back.
I'm sorry, but this post is probably one of the worst I've seen. It's a hybrid bad beat/awful idea.

[BAD BEAT POLICE]

HI! THOUGH YOUR LACK OF POKER UNDERSTANDING MAY MAKE THIS A VALID QUESTION, I AM STILL GOING TO RULE THIS AS A BAD BEAT POST. PEOPLE HAVE TWO REACTIONS TO YOUR BAD BEAT POSTS:

1. THEY DON'T CARE.

2. THEY ARE HAPPY.

THANK YOU! COME AGAIN!

Haha, if you Google for 'adanthar' something close to that ("can I say "I have AA" after I call someone's all in to prevent overcalls?) was like the very first question I asked about poker on RGP.

Ahh, memories.
