Not sure if my turn call is acceptable or not. When I got there on the river I thought I was golden. I knew mikesyl would be if I checked...didn't see the checkraise from Doodle coming too.

Am I beat? Is the turn call incorrect?

I'm not sure I've ever seen a hand like this where a different better opened the action on each street...

You both must have had a pretty stong read on mikesyl, as he never once until the river showed any aggression in this pot, yet you both seemed confident that a riv CR was the way to go.

If you know, then you know, and you should go with your read. Otherwise, i completely agree that you gotta bet the river. I have no problem with the turn call. Tho I think i prefer a CR on the flop.

Don't worry about being flush over flushed at 7 max on a 3 to a flush board. It's like set over set.
