This guy is what you call a "nit." I never give any cred to what other players say, ever, unless the person is a friend or an FTR poster. Even then, I'm critically evaluating the advice, ie even if Howard Lederer himself said it to me.

What business does another player have critiquing your play? He's obviously not your friend, and he's ultimately giving you advice that will make the game easier for him to play in the future (i.e. he wants you to play weak/passive).

P.S. The only time it was a bad play was if you made it for a wrong reason. Poker is a game of odds that extend beyond the chance of showing down the best hand. The play might be right because a) you knew you had implied odds. b) You had a read on the guy.

If it was obvious he was in the lead, you knew it, he knew it, and you both knew he would fold, (or perhaps you made the play without even thinking about anything at all) then you made a bad play.

So you tell me whether you made a good play or not; we weren't in the game, and we aren't inside your head.
