I would be happy. You saved some money.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy. The Q on the turn looked like a bad card, but I forced myself to bet anyway. When I didn't get raised, I thought I had the best hand. How does the button not raise on every street? How does the sb not raise the turn with the nut straight and a flush draw? How does he not raise the river with the nuts? Amazing.

I'm not an internet player. Is there such a thing as a "call all bets" button that perhaps both accidentally hit while 32-tabling?

I don't know that it's the *worst* hand -- yes, you screwed up by not going for a turn checkraise, but don't beat yourself up about it. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

(Okay, everyone tell me why going for a turn cr is the donkiest play imaginable.)

I should have gone for a turn check-raise? That is the glaring error you see in this hand? Did you notice that the button limped in with QQ on the button, flopped an overpair, turned a set, and never raised? How about the sb, who check-called the turn and river with the NUTS?!

I hate these hands where everything goes fine, until you see the pot gliding the wrong way!
It's almost worth a BB on the river to have the guy raise you so you can be more prepared [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

that's a pretty good read by queens to save a bet, but really the best play is by the straight, which induced you to keep betting.

Yeah, but he closed the action on the river with the NUTS! It's not like a raise here is gonna cost you any bets...

It's an image play. If he won't raise this... imagine how quickly you fold when he DOES raise.
