Dave, I clearly do have a defense..you clearly didn't read it
If you only play for value, then you're not maximizing profit.
the statement "regardless of obvious signs you were beat, you kept pushing" shows that you are only aware of 1/2 of the ways you can win a hand. The rest of your post indicates that you weren't even aware that I was bluffing-looks like you thought I was pushing for value. YOU play badly-don't get defensive, and you're welcome for the help.
