Damn, nz, that looks just like a cash game hand I played the other night. I didn't have the flush draw but I had a straight wrap and pair outs up the wazoo. Those turn and river cards look virtually identical to the ones that came for me.
Because you bet a goofy amount that offers excellent odds to try to draw and beat you - especially if they interpret the bet amount to "mean something," as in, "hmmm $777, the clown probably has a pair of sevens..." - and which because of human nature are substantially more likely to trigger the so-called "calling reflex"?
On the other hand, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and 73% to win is 100% to win 73% of the time.
