You had a legitimate call, but so did the winner with both the top trips + top kicker and a straight flush draw. He got lucky, you didn’t. Golreza, on the other hand…
Yup - can’t fault the call with his hand on that flop. He’s behind only 2 hands, 33 and 4/3 (and he’s blocking 4/3). It was just one of those dream scenarios where you think you’re lucky to get that much action and then … LOL, not so much
I thought about whether I could have played it any differently and the only possible option would have been to 3-bet from the SB and maybe get A4s to fold. Not sure if that would have even worked because people have a heck of a time laying down suited aces. Then there was the possibility of me being 4-bet jammed on and 33 isn’t a hand I want to go for stacks with.
