something similar happened to me the other day

Not even remotely similar.

Bet the flop, bet the turn, something, anything...

why? can u give some reasons? my reasoning was that heads up a set is a monster and i laid a trap for the bigger stack with position to bluff away some chips or a chance to catch a second best hand since the flop usually misses both blinds. i didnt have a read on his passive/aggreesive tendanceis since i just got moved to that table.

Reasons:

1. You were slowplaying (incorrectly IMO), OP was being slowplayed.

2. The OP has 2nd nuts, you have 5th nuts. Big difference.

3. The OP had evidence villain was overvaluing a rivered flush, you have no information or evidence about the opponent's holding at all. I'm assuming the river didn't complete the flush. This seriously limits the hands villain might have.

4. The OP had position, you did not.

5. You missed bets on every street except the river (which you overplayed IMO), the OP did not.



There are other critical differences, but you get the point.

The similarity is that you both lost with a full house, that is all. The hands played out MUCH differently, and the situations are not comparable...
