Table coach berates me over $8.50

[ajmargarine]

Even though this is a NL200 hand, I am going to post it here. The hand itself is unremarkable. The thoughts of the guy who berated me are what leads me to post it in SSNL.

$1/$2 NLHE 6-handed

Hero ($300)
BB ($18.50)
MP ($98)
CO ($265)
Button ($325)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $1.
1 fold, MP calls $2, CO calls $2, Button calls $2, Hero calls $1, BB checks.

Flop: ($9.50) A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players) </font>
Hero bets $8, BB calls $8, 3 folds.

Turn: ($25.75) T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
Hero bets $8.50 (putting BB all-in), BB folds.

And then I showed my quads. Table coach/fishy player in MP starts in on teaching me. 'Dude, you had quads', 'Why'd you bet there, let him hit his hand,' 'I can't believe you bet that, that was just dumb, if a diamond comes...if an ace comes....etc. etc. etc.'

And I wondered how many people here would check that hand on the turn?? If your first inclination is to check the turn here, reexamine. It'll help your game a little bit.
