No it's not!!!! guy had an explanation, he sent me this via email:
The reason I felt I had to fold because of the post flop play is like this.
When you bet $9 on the flop and I called, I thought it was obvious I had to have at least something. I forgot that people at these levels would call there with AT! I think I would have folded AT preflop lol, and if not I would definitely have folded it on the flop, mainly because with the guy behind me having reraised preflop, it would have been too risky to call 9 only to have to fold it if he pushed.
So when you check-raised all in on the river I thought you had to know I was betting with a real made hand at least as big as a straight. So I didn't think you could really push in with less than a full house yourself. The fact is, as far as full houses went, mine was quite bad.
I know that it was a mistake because of the preflop play, but its difficult to get everything back in line after so long out, this is honestly my second day of serious play in over 2 years so I'm making a lot of silly mistakes still! I'm still not all that unhappy with the fold. I made a mistake, but making the decision and sticking with it is better than just going "oh ffs I think I'm beat, I'll call anyway because I have a full house"!!
smart thinking player i guess but my questin is: who played this hand better, me or him?
