Should I play this differently?

[nickey009]

I didn't want to lead out because with a board this ugly I figured that I'd just win the pot on the flop. When he lead out for 6 I thought I had his over pair dead to rights. But the other guy was the one I should have been worrying about.

Once he cold calls the 15 on the flop i would be pretty worried, but i dont think you can get away from this hand anyway, and if u did double him up im not sure theres anything you can do differently with this hand in this spot.

Exactly! I hated the 15 cold call. But I couldn't slow down on the turn. He either has me beat set over set or caught the straight on the flop. Should I have considered slowing down on the turn though....that's the question.

This is tricky. MP2 actually has decent odds to call here (2:1, and with any six he could figure he's about 2:1 to win).

So either you're up against a set/made straight here, or he hoped that his cold call would buy him 2 cards and now he's trying to buy the pot with a hand like 66, 56s, 67s or A6s.

It's a tough laydown though, so I would probably make a crying call here.
