What's funny?He caught a straight on the turn and flat called knowing you are going to call a river bet, or bet out again. If he raises that turn he probably only gets one more bet out of you on the river. He played it pretty nicely actually. Limped with suited connectors perfect flop call, slowplayed the turn when he has the nuts and got you to 3 bet him on the river. Why he didn't cap it I don't know..thank him for saving you a bet.

You played this fine. But you already knew that.

You answered your own question. I find it funny when people just call with the nuts.And really, I guess PS and Absolute are weird then, because I rarely see anyone slowplay the nuts on the turn. I bet if I posted this hand from my opponent's perspective, everyone would be saying to raise the turn. And if you notice, he called the flop with a gutshot in a tiny pot.. He played it horribly.

He's getting 4:1 on the call. Implied odds probably bump it to 6:1, He's got a weak BD flush draw, and you are the SB that limped. I make this call all day everyday.

There are tons of players at .5/1.00 and 1/2 who love to make that call the turn, raise the river play. I think in the last week, it's happened to me about 25 or 30 times (unfortunately I was playing at a site, that I doesn't work with poker tracker so I can't find exact numbers). It sucks because chances are good you're beat, yet many times the pot's too big to fold for one bet.

I love making that call the turn raise the river play. I usually get exactly what happened on this hand. Other player 3 bets and I cap and take it down.
