I get dealt A 10 and raise my standard 3x BB raise
-I get a couple callers
-I flop TRIPS RAINBOW
At this point I think I am the greatest poker player in the world
-So I slow play the hand just checking
-After Runner Runner Diamonds he goes ALL IN on the RIVER
-I call because I’m stupid
He gets to supersize his Big Mac Meal tonight where as I have to order off the Value Menu.

Was playing a tournament tonight and I completely got mowed down by a brilliant play:
NUT FLUSH Destroyed...
Now alot of people will say this is just a really BAD BEAT but I say I was stupid because I had the 3rd best hand. This is a case of not thinking things through. I saw my nut flush COMPLETED and bam I instantly went all in.
What I should have done was think:
Well he probably doesn’t have QUADS but if he holds even a SINGLE ACE I am dominated. It was worth a call but not an ALL IN.
Lesson learned…again.
I would like to tip my hat to Makkidu for playing that hand extremely well. Simply calling and checking the entire time.
