Half the time I think party fish don't even realize that the river made the flush possible and will happily play their flopped goods to the felt.

why didnt you raise the river

Yeah, raising the river is a good here, backdoor flushes are hard to see coming. He might miss it and 3-bet and you can easily cap this and gain those few extra bets.

You have the nuts on the river.


RAISE

Ok, I appear to have whiffed. The whole reason I posted the hand was to call attention to the fact that the day after I made fun of other people for not paying attention, I completely missed that I had just rivered the nuts. I bet my top pair on the flop and turn, then just made what I thought at the time was a crying call when my opponent had apparently made a straight. The flush didn't even enter my mind. Just trying to make a little joke at my own expense...Guess I'm about as good at humor as I am at poker [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Or everyone just whiffed on the joke, including myself. No worries though. We've all done stuff like that. I bet a pair of jacks on the river last night that I thought was a straight - Turns out I actually was ahead and the river King gave two players top pair and another all in player a straight.
