Played on PartyPoker last night… I play $.5/$1 Limit Hold ‘Em. I get dealt A3 offsuit as the BB in a 6 handed game. Only one raiser, I call. Flop is T J K rainbow. So I have an inside straight draw. He bets, I call. In No Limit, I’d just fold with an inside straight draw, but in Limit poker, I can call one bet if it’s the flop. Since the bet doubles on the turn, if I don’t have a hand by then, I’ll usually fold it. Turn is a queen. I make my straight! More importantly, it’s the nut straight, meaning it can’t be beat; only tied. I bet, he raises, I re-raise, he caps, I call. I wonder what he could have. Trips? An ace? I have all hands beat at this point, so my play is a no-brainer. River is a 3, pairs my hand but it’s useless since I already made a straight. Pot gets capped again, he reveals pocket 9s.
What made his play bad? When the pot got capped on the turn, he should have suspected he was beat. He shouldn’t have capped the pot on the river. He lost $3 more than he should have.
