turn: k of clubs. i pot and he calls all in. he doesnt pair board on river.
Thanks for correcting the action, I thought he was all in on river. He still lost over $200 on the hand.
I don't think guy with set of 5's thought about anything other then, "I has a set, Cawl!!"
Not to turn this into a strategy thread but I think 4-5 people saw the flop. Now his 3 bet range from SB could be relatively wide, but once he bets 60% of pot into at least 3 callers on a 567 two heart board. That is a really strong bet. Worst leading range here is Nut flush draw and overpair (which i don't think he does). Not saying it's always the straight at all, just it's mostly made hands and big combo draws. I would be shocked if he was leading here with a naked over pair on such a wet board into at least 3 players.
Bottom either slightly ahead or pretty far behind. His call wasn't necessarily the worst. But i will say calling is the worst of his three options, if you are not going to fold turn might as well get it on flop. Strong arguments could be made for raising or folding but they are both better than call.
