I saw this go down tonight & I'm seeing more & more of it. However, it was from a very good player last to act.
1/2NL ES-~$450
6 to the flop for $2; I'm in the BB with 75o
Flop: $12 raked 9

I have 9 hi str8
I check, Rec bets $25, TAG calls, I call.
Turn: $81 raked 9

Checks around.
River: 9

I check, Rec bets $50, I'm calling that, TAG raises to $150 & I'm folding to that. Rec folds & TAG [for some reason] shows his pocket 8s.
I'm also seeing it a lot from LP players who raise otf with a flush draw & when it comes in on the turn, checks or calls whatever the bet is & waits for the river to bomb.
