Just look through the hand Ralph knowing what oppo had.
All the mistakes are his.
He flats the flop bet so he's getting 2 to 1 on that call. If he hits I think you get away on the river because it's an uber scare card that hits him so he's not got the implied odds to call especially oop.
He then calls the turn when he's still behind with one card to come so again doesn't get the right odds on his call.
If he gets it in on the flop then it's you who's made the mistake because he's probably about 65% there.
You just got unlucky against a bad oppo.
Out of interest what do you do if he jams your flop raise? That would've been the real decision in this hand and the one where you could've made a mistake.
Villain plays his hand pretty perfectly matt
Struggling to find a reason why mate.
He's got about as good a flop as you could expect for his hand. Ralph gives him the chance to get his chips in as a big favourite but he peels.
The turn gives him the FD but still makes his hand worse with only one card to come.
He had 13 nut outs with 2 to come, now he's down to 9 with 1 card left and that's when he gets it in. Against Ralph's specific hand he has a lot of outs on the turn but he had a lot more on the flop with his 2 pair and set options.
Ok, didnt see how shallow utg was, jamming flop woulda been better now i see, im wrong. I initially thought the shorty had more villain has a huge draw, but prefers multiway action with this hand, so freezing anyone out the pot would be -EV. Also, assuming villain can handread well, he knows what ralphs hand is, knows he cant make Ralph fold the turn, so calling is ok, given his price is fine when his outs are true.
