yes...you played correctly pre-flop. You want to limp in and see a cheap flop. Once it was raised and you add in tthe other callers your pot odds were too enticing to walk away.

I do. You are looking to hit a flop like the one that hit. It puts you in a spot to win a big pot with a big hand. If you had missed your set you can fold. Not knowing the end result you called .45 to try and win 7.15. I will take those odds every time.

When i said the hand was played wierd, I didnt mean you. I meant the other guy betting, then calling your raise on the flop and turn. At the river he checks when the flush and straight hit. that seems wierd to me.

I like to check behind on the river if I think he may have been drawing and there's a possibility he hit it. I like the check.

I don't like the flat call on the flop though. .45 into a 1.80 pot is a big underbet... I would have re-raised to about 1.80, still much less then the pot but enough to milk some more money out of him. If he called that I'd put in a full pot-sized bet on the turn, and check behind on the river if he called down again and that came down.

In that specific spot, I don't think he's drawing though. I think he's got top pair weak kicker. He bet out on the flop to see if his hand was any good, and wanted to check it down to try and keep you honest. I'd put him rather narrowly on T9, JT, 99, 88, 77, QT if he's weak.Of those, the only hand that beats you is 77 and it'd be a river.loss.

Edit- the more I think about this, in this case a value bet on the river would probably be good because of the range of hands I have him on. If he's got a weak pair that he wants to check/call down, there's a lot of hands that he could call a half pot or pot sized bet with that you COULD beat, and only a couple that you can't, and he really hasn't been playing like he's got a monster he's waiting to check-raise the river with.

Final Pot: $7.15

Results below:
BB has Kd Ts (one pair, tens).
UTG doesn't show.
Hero has 5c 5h (three of a kind, fives).
Outcome: Hero wins.

$.35 is raked from a pot of $7.15.
Hero wins $6.80 with three fives.

btw the reason i did not raise the flop was becuase i believed that there was a good chance MP3 would raise. otherwise raise would be my normal play.
