i hate seeing 3 of a suit on the board, thats why i wanted to bet 25c to see if he would re-raise me then i'd know if he had the flush at that time.

why would he even stay in with the big bet on the flop ? sometimes i get ridiculously frustrated when i dont understand why people are staying in (ie i think of their pot odds, what they likely have, and it just doesnt make sense)

is it wrong for me to trust math, statistics, pot odds, pre-flop strategy and to try my best to combine that with real experience to become good at this !??
