Wooderson did an excellent job of controlling the action on the turn. His 3xBB bet will make any hand that beats him FLAT CALL here unless the player is fairly sophisticated and is afraid of redraws (this guy wasn't, obviously). The bet on the river was pretty dumb but how much would you have called here, Wooderson? I would have had to pay off a 3xBB bet just in case the guy was making a post-oak bluff. I have no idea why the guy didn't at least minraise you there. If I had to guess I would say misclick, he was going for the minraise but accidentally clicked call instead.

Did you raise preflop? Did he? What was his bet size in relation to the pot on the flop? How many chips did each player have? Depending on these answers, you may have made a crucial mistake by not pushing on the flop and the hell with getting outdrawn. Since you didn't push on the flop I say you should have bet 1/2 the pot on the turn and seen what he did (he would have pushed, I imagine). Your 3xBB bet seems weak and any strong hand is just going to call you. You had no redraws (your best hand was already made) but did manage to control the action and get yourself a free card. Right move, wrong time.

Them's the breaks, I suppose.
