Here is a doozy..

i get 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the BB, two callers, SB folds, three way action. I've been sitting tight for over an hour then a nice surge of cards comes my way. first limper has me covered with about $70, i have about $55, second limper has around $35. we play 10-20 cent blinds with a 5 cent ante.

flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. i bet $1.20, call, call. turn is a 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. i check, $70 guy bets $1, i raise to $4, he says, "nice!", then calls...

river comes a 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. i bet $1 just to get him to call, but he raises me $20 more! i think, look at him, and say to him, "i have a flush." he says, "me too."

now, i know by saying that while i contemplate the call, i am saying that i do NOT have the nut flush. how could i have played it better here?
