Who is the better player in this hand?

[FGators]

I've been getting into it with a friend of mine over drinks and the discussion has gotten quite heated so I figured I needed to take this into BBV to get serious replies. Player A raises to $8 at $1/2 NL with 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Player B raises to $14 ($6 more) with Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Player A calls.

Effective stacks are $200.

Flop: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Player A leads for $36, Player B raises to $85, Player A pushes, Player B calls

Turn: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
River: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Outcome: Player B wins the pot.

Settle this argument with my friend for me.

Serious answers only please.

I'm here to learn and discuss theory so I'm starting to think that Player B was the better player here because he dragged in the pot. Because, frankly, that is what seems to go on around this forum, as far as I can tell.

A guy posts a graph, people don't see the hands, but if a guy has a graph that goes up he's praised..if he has a graph that goes down he's bashed for "sucking."

I just want to make sure everyone's on the same page here that it's all about "da Benjamins."

I want to stay out of this thread though as I'm seeking only serious replies to settle this dispute.

why does your poll only have player b as the option?????

Player B knew he had great fold equity against you and then he had the pot odds to call after you pushed, so you both played it well.

Interesting. How can you call Player A's play "well" if he lost this hand.

Just curious.

If either of the players are you, then its the other guy.
