What exactly did they say?

You played it just as I would have. Taking the free card is fine, but I like betting because I picked up some more big outs (with the gutshot). Plus it's fun to bet.

3-betting the turn is useless because you need to hit the river to win (UTG has you beat right now), and you may be raised again by UTG, and you only have 2 opponents so even if all 18 (9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]s, 3 9's, 3 J's, 3 A's) of your outs are clean, you're barely getting enough value (if we discount the J and A outs by 1/2, you end up with 15 outs, which is basically break-even against 2 opponents). Plus you can fold the river here if you miss.
