Some advice please...an idiot?

Hi everyone,

I was called an idiot for playing this hand the way I did. Looking back, I dont see anything wrong, at least with my thought process both during and after the hand anyway.
It was early in a freeroll MTT. I'd been playing tight, and agressivley betting good hands or when I had hit on the flop strong. The guy that went to the flop with me had been quite busy.

I raise pre flop cos it was a rag Ace and suited - prefered that than to limp in. Anyway, I think I was called an idiot as I called his bet on the turn, when I was already four to the nut flush. I doubted he had a 5 and thought he probably had J 9 or 8 9. But with possible sets and full houses out there, did I make the right call? I know I won this hand, but was the call of the strong turn bet the correct move?

Thanks

if someone who you beat calls you an idiot it's probably best not to listen to them.

go all in on the turn btw.

Thanks Beaneh, it didnt bother me at all - I politely typed 'thanks' in the chat box.



Appreciate your reply anyway.


Cheers

Who's the idiot, he calls x4BB out of position with Q8os then calls 1/2 pot with middle pair, then tries to steal it (probably his only half decent move) and whines when he lost lol.

lol, thats what i thought - but not been playing that long and honestly thought I was missing something!
