Re: Thinly veiled whine post.
I think if you make it $10K on the river, you are committed to calling the rest.
If you raise smaller on the river, then you have a chance to fold. For instance, if you made a minraise to 4600, you could lay it down to his push.
The smaller raise also has the benefit of getting a crying call from a flush. I would not expect a competent player to call the $10K raise with a flush, but they might pay off the smaller raise.
On the other hand, they WILL call your big raise with a lower boat like J's full or 4's full.
Overall the real answer is: you got cold decked and there wasn't much you could do.
