What a donkey. I’m never 3-betting worse for value here, and it’s not a spot where I’m prone to bluff, either.

Thing is, I mis-read my hand and thought I had a straight. I honestly wasn’t sure I could 3-bet it, because AQ is definitely in Villain’s range, and I was afraid if I did 3-bet it would be obvious I had a straight such that I’d only get action from better. But really the only way K4 is good here is if I mis-read my hand.
For a misread to be your only hand, he has to assume you’re an idiot – which seems an unreasonable first assumption. Without some kind of specific history, I don’t think he deserves this kind of headline
I actually meant the title to refer at least as much to me as to him. While I don’t like his call, my misreading my hand is clearly a far worse error.
