Bad play or bad beat?

[MovingFlea]

After he called your bet on the flop you should've stopped betting. He's either called with a pair or a weak straight draw. Since it's the final table, and the stacks aren't as deep as they would be in a deep tournament, the play is rarely I bluff better.

but calling is a weak play. That's what I heards. How strong can he be really?! If calling is such a good play why do they say its better to raise. I mean my point is, EVERYONE throws C-bets nowadays. People are starting to call them with nothing now. You cant afford to give up the hand just because they call. The turn card is the new flop these days.

Actually, your turn check was a weak play. Also, how did you play earlier hands and do you think he is good enough to have noticed how you were playing earlier. If you started with 40 BB and he played you like that then he obviously was a better player because he knew you were weak and also knew you would shove. So it wasn't a bad play or bad beat. You just plain out got outplayed. It happens to the best of us and maybe you should pay more attention to your own play and how others are watching it.
