I'm not saying that you shouldn't have made the thread. We're all here to learn. That's a good thing.

I'll revert back to my earlier point: Pretty much EVERY SINGLE poker player thinks that they are better than they actually are.

IE, many players justify making questionable plays OOP or with worse hands because they feel that their skill advantage makes up for it when in reality they're over-estimating their skill advantage and/or the effect that their skill advantage has on how the hand plays out.

I understand now. Sorry, I misunderstood your last post. Thank you. I appreciate all of the thoughts in here.

As played, I pushed my stack all in after the Asian Lady acted. UTG called instantly. Both players showed 9-7 for the nuts and I get scooped in the main and side pots.

After staying at this table for two hours longer I can say I would have folded after the Asian Lady as both of these players were very ABC TAG. I ended up doubling up at the table and making all my money back, while both of them ended up down significantly from this hand.

Thank you to everyone for the help with this hand. I really appreciate it!

Agreed. Goes to show how knowing the players can be the difference.
