I was sure the river was my money card and that he would raise with a flush. Little did I suspect he would .. um ... well, see for yourself

maybe they were afraid of

Obviously fearing the almighty quads... Why didn't you bet the flop?

Yeah from what I've seen you NL guys are obsessed with slowplaying, no need to really ge t the money in early. Don't let them draw to straights so cheaply.

I'm not obsessed with slowplaying. I just had them both pegged as regular players who would bet that flop with an ace. Just 3 handed and in position.... Ah, hell, I never know what to do in that kind of situation.

I'll give you a hint: It start with a "B" and ends in an "ET unless you don't like money".

Ahhhh, I don't agree.

I will bet all day long when I can find a likely hand someone can have that is good but just a tiny bit worse than mine. Like this one, for instance:

Hero limps with 66 in LMP, unraised pot, 6 ways.
Flop is TT5. Hero bets 3/4 pot from MP, gets one caller OTB.
Turn is a beautiful 6. Hero overbets the pot, gets one caller.
River is a 7. Hero pushes, gets one caller.

I put him on a T, of course, but he had 99.

....

But I will peel one off with a big hand if I don't see a lot of good-hands-that-I'm-beating out there, and I'm last to act, and there are only 1-2 other people in the hand with me.

I think his point was that these are htey types that will 100% fire if they had Ax... Since they checked, they didn't have it...
