How about a little more information on Mr. cap the flop guy, or the calling station in between.

My guess is nice hand, the turn 3 bet scares me, but since he just called, river bet looks good.

Perfect, standard.

What was the issue here? Seems fairly obvious, pump pump pump.

Well played. 1 question though, what was your plan if you din't improve on the turn?

Looks like a busted flush draw to me. I call the flop raise. Lead the turn when the flush card does not come.

*nods* If I'm getting raised here after a capped flop I'm thinking about a possible set for villian. Luckily he didn't cap the turn here, so he didn't have the set. nh

I agree with your flop 3-bet, because button could have been raising the flop with a flush or straight draw to try to get a free card.

However, when button caps the flop and raises your turn bet, I suspect that he may have a set. I would have started to slow down at this point.

So I would have preferred to call button's turn raise as opposed to 3-betting. The pot was big enough to see whether you make a boat on the river.

On the river, I suspect that UTG folded a busted straight or flush draw. I would have preferred to check/call for the chance that button had a weaker 2 pair hand.

This is my line as well.
