Who can explain this hand?

My only read of this is that the Big Blind wouldn't think of raising with an 85 or 53 of hearts.

i think that's grandma's confusion in the narrative about the button's post. i don't believe brad made a mistake by not saying raise or not putting enough chips out

Brad couldn't have won the hand. He'd bet the turn with anything that beats 76 at showdown.

so UTG has the straight flush (77 wouldn't root for a 6).

Brad probably has the backdoor flush with another draw on the flop. at first i was thinking Ah3h for the isolation check-raise, but once someone else calls, i'm guessing he needs something stronger to check-raise. it looks like he check-raised 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (rather than betting out) figuring grandma would call 2 bets anyway.
