Flop the nut straight - Merry Christmas!
 

Do you slow down at all here? Or does this look about right.

I think I play it the same, the T really sucks since you're probably splitting now.

Re: Flop the nut straight - Merry Christmas!
 

Dunno about the river, you think he makes a freeshowdown raise on that board often given the flop action? I'd probably just check-call.

Re: Flop the nut straight - Merry Christmas!
 

Its probably a split. Worst case its a split with him having a flush draw. But it might also be an over-aggresive set. Your hand could look like a two pair to him. Id 3bet the turn and call down to further aggression.

Re: Flop the nut straight - Merry Christmas!
 

He's got AcKx.. maybe AA? I dont see him preflop limp-reraising with AcTc or any two clubs.

Re: Flop the nut straight - Merry Christmas!
 

after the turn raise I think you are chopping at best. i'd c/c the river.

Chopping at worst, I think. How's the villain gonna have a flush with his preflop play ?

Re: Flop the nut straight - Merry Christmas!
 

This is 3/6. People limp reraise with whatever the hell they want.

Don't worry so much about his hand range. Concern yourself more with the fact that you capped the flop and he still raises the turn. This tells us that he's not scared of the straight. I suspect he either flopped a flush, or flopped a pair with the Ac.

Re: Flop the nut straight - Merry Christmas!
 

You cannot trust the backraise without a read. Villain could have flopped the flush with Axs or suited connectors. There is no evidence to the contrary.

I checkcall the river:

1. If this is not a chop I don't feel like a favorite. He raised the turn with both the flush and the four-straight on board.

2. If I am winning he may bluff in hopes that I was flushing and will now fold. I've even seen people value bet nines in this situation after I check.

maybe c/c turn &amp; river, he's freerolling now.
