First Royal, how'd I play it?

[Bodhi]

how they hell did I misread you so badly?

Nice hand. I don't see what you could have done differently. On the turn, you were on a flush draw and gutshot straight draw, giving you 12 outs, or a 35% chance to hit your draw. But your equity on the turn was 33% (1 out of 3 betting the turn, and no one was going to fold most likely). So, I wouldn't have raised the turn either.

Looks perfect to me. Why do you think you should've been more aggressive on the turn? YOU DIDN'T HAVE A HAND. You have a 35% chance of making your flush on the river, and with only 2 opponents you're putting in 33% of the money...if you lose MP1 then you're HU with the guy that 3-bet preflop, and 3-bet an ace-high flop. What does that tell you?

Hmm, by the turn, you'd only be about a 20% chance of making the flush, and 25% chance of improving to a flush or a straight.

Not sure. After the hand I started to think about the turn and I wasn't completely sure if I had played it right. During the hand it seemed like the right thing to do. That's why I wanted to post it and see if everybody thought the turn play was okay. I felt pretty confident about the rest of the hand.

Cap the flop, then pair the board on the turn so that full houses will go nuts on the river when you make your royal.

I think we're both having one of those days...

Then stop the action where you have a question. Posting this looks like a "lookit my big, bad royal" post.

[Runin]

My bad, I thought I qualified it with my text before the hand.

[badbill7]

should have raised preflop instead of limp other than that play is ok. kinda strange title to post. How can you play a royal poorly unless you dont bet

[Runin]

I did raise preflop. The title was b/c I was unsure of the turn play and curious if I played it right.
