A poker question for you

Hello. Just joined this site, and I'm definitely liking it. Thought I'd become involved and post a poker question. The other day I was playing live cash $1/$2 NLHE at a local casino. To make a long story short, it came down to me and 1 other opponent at a 9 handed table. It was the river, and it was my turn. I was thinking in my head of what amount I should bet, and looking at my chips while doing so. It was quiet at the table, and all of a sudden the guy who I was heads up against says, "You might as well just go all in if you're gonna make a bet." Now at this point, I wasn't thinking of going all in because it would of been an over bet due to what was already in the pot. My opponent did seem anxious though. I made my bet, and he just about insta called me. He won the hand. His full house beat my 3 of a kind.

My question is, when a player makes a particular comment like that, does it usually mean he's got you beat? Also if he doesn't have you beat, what would be the best way to depict if he's bluffing?

Hey, theres no rule of thumb that ive seen work for everyone, it honestly just a person by person case, it always means something just you need to know the person to figure it out...but to answer your question, the best way to depict if he's bluffing or not is to base it on past behaviors, different players will compensate differently...
because it literally could mean he super loves his hand so he's trying to talk you into calling (obvious i know but those players exists) or it could mean he hates his hand, making it look like he wants you to call so you fold...etc etc etc

so without knowing anything else about the guy your playing i actually think it would be a mistake to act on the information, just remember it of next time, and see if it lines up...maybe in a couple of sessions you'll be able to check fold, your trips all because he talked...

hope this helped, if you liked what u said please heart it and let me know where i went wrong if you didnt.. :)
