Seat 8: Triple Bock (small blind) folded before Flop

Seat 9: cease99 (big blind) folded before Flop

The lousy thing is when I bet on the flop and got flat-called by tak, I put him on AT. (actionnuts I discounted for some reason; but something about how tak had been playing made me take him seriously.) So I should have been in go-slow mode. A smaller feeler bet when the Ace hit on the turn would have been appropriate. One way or the other, when he check-raised big I should have mucked instantly.

Then I never see the river Ace giving me trips (and of course giving tak the boat) so it wouldn't have come into the decision making process anyway.

I've said before that I think the most important skill in hold'em is to be able to put your opponents on a hand. Here I got that part right, and then didn't have enough courage (or maybe I just had too much greed) to trust my read.

Bad dog.
