    Seat 9: Col_Butler1 folded before Flop (didn't bet)

    Maybe I should've pushed on flop instead of leaving myself with 2000? I guess maybe he thought he could get me off my hand by raising... if I went all in, he wouldn't call with Q high, right? That must've been my mistake. Any help would be much appreciated... Thanks!

    You forgot to factor in the moron syndrome. Note that he's an idiot & catch him next time.
