Message: [QUOTE="Threesixes, post: 389840, member: 5571"] I have a hard time applying the fundamental theory of poker to hands when I think both players played it correctly. For example today I played in a CC tourney and had Q 10 in the small or big blind I dont remember. My opponent had pocket aces and made a small enough raise that I felt ok calling it to see a flop. Flop came AKJ giving me the nut straight and him trip aces. He went all in to protect himself from being outdrawn, and I of course called with the nut straight. The board paired with a J on the river and I was pretty much done. Can anyone explain how the fundamental theorum of poker plays into this hand because I think we both played it right and even though my opponent would have folded rather than pushed had he seen my cards I dont feel I earned any expectation due to him playing his cards correctly in my view.
