A Little Poker Analysis: Sometimes your Read is Right...

My analysis from the flop of Q-Q-2... My intention of this flop was to check out of position to see what my opponent would do... Most likely, if he bet, I would put him on air as people tend not to bet trips esp. when the bet is pot-sized... I figured he was trying to steal the pot right out and maybe he had something like a small pair (ended up being half true) or an Ace high that whiffed... So with that in mind, I decided to shove and he Phil Hellmuth-INSTA-calls with a pair of 7s!? I mean, it was a great call, but an INSTA-call?!
