Playing 2 4, 5 man table, table is considerably passive preflop, with a few players only raising with big pocket pairs. I have 7 8 spades utg. I limp, not fearing a raise, all limp to BB, who raises! All call.
Flop is 3s 6s Jh
I have 4 to flush with 3 different runner runner straits. BB bets, I think about raising, but don't have that much experience playing shorthanded, so I call, 1 person folds, rest call.
Turn is 8d. BB bets, I raise, all call to BB who reraises. At this point I put him on a set or a pocket pair bigger than J.
River is Js. Very interesting. Checked to me, I bet, call back around to BB, who checkraises! I'm really stuck here, and a read is really hard to figure. Big pocket pair is hard to imagine, with the top card pairing on the river. He could have JJ, but what has the other 2 players been calling with this whole time? JJ is so hard to see here, so AJ is the best I can figure. I'm so stunned by Check raise, I call, as do other 2 players.
Turns out BB had AA and did indeed overplay his rockets. 3rd player had J 9 for trips, and the 4th player had 10 7!! I don't know what reason he could possibly have to call 2 bets on river with a busted strait, but I took down 26.5 BB pot.
So many possible hands were going through my head with all of the other players cold calling 2 bets on turn, and calling river bet, call seemed like the right move. Does anyone 3 bet river with low flush here? I know in a ring game I would be MUCH more inclined to call, but is a raise in order here? Thanks for comments.
