the villian seemed to be loose passive, but not a complete donk

Did MP3 raise all-in on the river?

[djr]

i think you played it very well.

[KDawgCometh]

mp3 is who called on the river. I guess the converter screwed up for some reason

[Nick C]

I think this is all right. MP3 will probably slow down after either a flop 3-bet or a turn checkraise, and if he would have just called down after a flop 3-bet, you did get an extra SB in by taking the line you did.

One thing to consider, though, is that, depending on what MP3 holds, there could be a number of cards that will scare him on the turn. Still, I doubt he'll check behind on the turn heads up, even if an overcard to his 99 or flopped top pair or whatever does fall. And even if he's got a draw with, say, 44 or 76s, most likely he has a pair to go with it and won't take the free card.
