I was first to act on the turn, this converter doesn't show checks, but I check raised, and I obviously have the nuts. How is the flop play? Should I have done anything different there?

Party Poker 0.10/0.20 Hold'em (10 handed) link

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 9♦, 9♣.
3 folds, Hero raises, MP3 calls, 3 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 9♥, 3♠, T♣ (3 players)
Hero bets, MP3 raises, BB calls, Hero 3-bets, MP3 caps, BB calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (9.25 BB) 9♠ (3 players)
MP3 bets, BB folds, Hero raises, MP3 calls.

River: (13.25 BB) K♥ (2 players)
Hero bets, MP3 calls.

Final Pot: 15.25 BB.

flop is well played and the turn c/r is good because you might trap bb and mp3 almost certainly bets in this spot.
If BB wouldn't be in the hand i probably would lead the turn though.


That's what I thought too, and it probably is well played, and I will probably play similar hands that way again in future. The truth is, he had pocket tens. I was 46-1 underdog on the turn, and drew out on him. And I didn't even know until after the hand. David Sklansky says when a player bets, when if he knew what the opponent had he wouldn't bet, that is a mistake, and costs money, even if you win. And I can see how in my career, the next 46 times I run into this situation, it is gonna cost me a hell of a lot.

I'm trying to look at it to see if I should have smelt a rat. But it is difficult when you have flopped the set, to imagine that your opponent has flopped the set that beats yours on the same hand.


well, you can't know what he has, and you have to calculate the ev over his entire range of hands that he would play that way and on the flop a bunch of weaker hands are possible (33, AT, 98, etc) so you really have to play this hand aggressively.


Yes, of course. I couldn't have played it differently. Sometimes you get lucky.
