Again, the foregoing is a guess as I don't frequent that forum much and I don't really recall seeing posts of yours in the past. So maybe there is still some reason to ask him why he locked it.
Also, check the turn. Having a "feeling" that your opponent is on a draw is not a good enough reason to bet 3rd pair of 4's with no draw OOP on the turn.
FWIW, I probably would have bet even less than what you did on the flop ($20 maybe).
Also, pre-flop raise is probably too big ($15 or maybe $20 if this is one of those live tables where people call way too much or maybe even just fold if it is one of those live tables where they call way too much, but from your description everyone seems to be playing nitty so I assume not calling all too much pre-flop).
I don't need you critiquing me in this forum first of all secondly you are wrong. Betting my hand because I have a "feeling" is plenty of reason. I don't know what game you are playing but I know what I'm doing. I don't need any help with my sizing your just flat out wrong. First of all I'm at the table so for you to just dismiss my feel as something that has no weight is just absolutely ridiculous. I'm mixing up my sizings preflop. I play much more aggressively than you probably do so betting my pair on the turn makes a lot more sense for my style of play. Try to wrap your head around that before just assuming that my play is incorrect. For your weaker more passive style of play then yeah checking that hand back on the turn makes more sense. Consider having better live reads and the courage of your convictions to make whatever move felt right at the time and then maybe my play makes more sense. I'm not some noob betting third pair for no reason on that turn dude. My mistake isn't the turn it's the river. The only reason to check that turn is when I expect to face a lot of raises in that spot which I didn't. I'm running people over and they are just laying down in front of the steamroller.
I accept that my post comes off as condescending though it's about a hand that I ultimately made a big mistake in and wanted to see who could spot it and educate those who couldn't. Whatever though I'm a giant Deutschbag.
