The dangers of slow-playing. Not saying it was wrong - you were going for best value for your hand. There's just always that luck aspect so that someone can suck out. Maybe a big raise on the turn would have taken out the str8 draw, but since he was open-ended and it is, after all, online poker, he probably would have called and you'd be in the same boat, except that you would have had a little more info on how strong his hand was and might have avoided the river push. It's all hindsight - just a bad-luck deal.

[tdeuel214]

You should have pushed when you hit the trips, the guy with 9 10 would have probably folded and you would have beat the aj...

At those stakes, most won't fold an open-ended draw......
