Just call the river 3-bet.

River cap is close. I think this is just as likely to be a slowplayed 77-99 before JT or 56. I assume you lost the hand given the title of your post.

I wouldn't be afraid to cap the river here, as I think you'll see some raggy 2 pair or slowplayed set often enough.

Cap this river every time
In 100k hands you'll be doin' fine

Happy B-Day.

Yeah, the results oriented nature of the title probably clouded my judgement there. No way you can automatically assume his 3-bet means he has the straight. If he has it less than 50% vs. 2-pair or a smaller set, a cap is totally justified.

And they say stars is tough.

Is there a buddy list in PT or is at the poker sites?

At best you could have saved 1BB by not capping the river. However, how could he not have cr the turn? I don't see anything wrong with capping here as you usually have villian beat.
