I'd say three mistakes were made here, from least to worst (discounting what seems to be rather bizarre betting by both you and the OESD player, but I don't play NL much so can't really comment):

1 - you misreading your hand

2 - overpair folding without seeing a hand that beats him for part of the pot

3 - you giving away $100 for nothing

Hmmmm . . . the betting makes sense, considering we both knew we were against someone who folds overpairs A LOT there (especially given that the hand I thought I had could catch 13 cards twice to take over big pairs).

I'd like to know WHY you think it was such a clearly big mistake to pass off the bill considering he obviously made an honest mistake. I'm in poker to make money, but I've never lost money by being in his shoes (and I am not likely to, I protect my hand) so it's not like the "it balances out in the end" argument comes into play.

At what point should I consider factors like:

* I play in this room a lot.
* So does the other guy.
