how many bets until you just call?

[Dominic]

Last night at the Wynn 15/30....my very first hand....

<WARNING - BAD BEAT ALERT!>

Folded to me in the CO...I raise AA....get 3-bet by the BB...I just call (I don't want him to slow down after the flop).

Garbage flop - 3c6c9c I have the Ace of clubs.

Bet, Raise, re-raise, I just call.

Turn is a blank.

Bet, raise, reraise, I just call again.

River is the 5c. Woo hoo!

Bet, raise, reraise...I reraise...he raises...I raise again...he raises again.

Wait a minute, let me check board again....uh huh, I have the nut flush, board isn't paired....I raise again.

He re-raises yet another time. I look at the board again. Okay, there IS a striaght flush possibility if the villain happens to have the 2c4c. But he three-bet pre-flop - he can't have that!

I re-raise. He raises AGAIN. Goddammit. Fine, I call, you fish.

He shows, yep - the 2c4c for a straight flush.
