There's a Sucker (Or Two) Born Every Minute
While I was actually in this hand, I couldn't help but think, "What the hell do they think I have?" My general table image is that of a fairly tight, very aggressive player. After I look at the hand history, I STILL can't help but think, "What the hell did they think I had?"

Pre-flop, I was dominated. After the flop, when I re-raised, what the hell did they put me on? AA? A lower flush draw? Like I said, anybody with PT and GT+ knows I'm a TAG. Jeez. The board pairs, I hit the nut full house, and the only way I lose this (in hindsight) is for a big card to come on the river. The river brings the 3rd damond. The guy with the flush at least had a reason to call. The guy with 2 pair should have just laid this down. Even if he didn't think I had him beat, he had to think the guy with AQs did, or at least was on the flush draw. I was only afraid of the overcard, or someone having 99. Neither one came to fruition, and I scooped a big pot. Remember, folks, even in poker sometimes, even with people's willingness to bluff, if it looks like a rat, smells like a rat, and acts like a rat, sometimes it really is a rat.
