Let me guess. You had aces. Bet big preflop. The flop was wet and scary for aces but you also bet big, you bet the turn, bet the river and folded when he reraised you all-in on the river cause it was the best mathematical decision since you just had a pair of aces. Until he shown you the bluff with 7 2. Am I right?

Poker is not just a game of cards, its a game of mind really. Exploiting your opponent. Annette Obrestad won a whole tournament without ever looking her cards.

Now let me tell you what could happened. You bet really big preflop and telegraphed to your opponent that you hold a premium pair. The flop came straighty with no overcards so your opponent played exactly like if he had a straight or a full house or whatever was on that board that gets premium pairs folded.

That or its a complete donkey, that 7 2 is not an instant fold for him but he keeps calling until magic river gives him two pair or set. But if thats the case you just found an atm that is willing to give you his money and call your shove of aces with 7 2! And lose 9 times out of 10.   Thats like the best thing that can happen in poker! I'll let him win 1 time out of 10 all he likes really.

I have no answer to your question, but I'm curious to know what exactly happened.
