yeah. Why couldn't a 4 or 9 of diamonds come off and make it easier...so fold is wrong???.........Just kidding. Been playing NL too long...this does seems like the way to go..there is more than 1 player in though, and could still be capped losing me $3 more...actually I guess it could either way with 3 in :wink:

Bet the river.This is proabbly another straight, a fool slowplaying AA and maybe another set.Some of the time it's Ax daimonds, but not nearly enough of the time for you not to bet out and call however many bets it is back to you.

Played it great up until that. didn't cap the flop on purpose to give doubt about my st8...even though the late position limper has 5/7 too. Nice to river him .With 4 people in the pot I was thinking Axs ,but being the pot was already huge for this level should have bet out...Thanks

smash,I give you props. You called the hands cold.I will not doubt you again :wink: ok probably will!!!

i read your explanation, but i was stunned you didn't cap the flop.this is absolutely a terrible situation to slowplay or to give an impression that you don't have a solid hand.1. the pot is four-way. people have called raises, they will definitely call a cap.2. someone else is raising, make him pay you off. you slowplay if people will fold to aggression. no one is folding to aggression.3. you have the nuts with a freaking monster redraw. i don't mean to be biased off the results, but more likely than not, you are freerolling someone big time (which you were). get in your money!that said, the river is an easy bet out. smash nailed it, more often than not, you have the best hand, and if you get raised, you call.i strongly feel that you didn't maximize your profit that hand. with a monster hand like that against aggression in a multiway pot, never ever slowplay.aseem

I agree and think that 's the reason i posted...felt even though it was a nice pot...did not maximize...on my defense but really no excuse, i had been getting killed in NL with sick draws...played with my mind a little too much.
