Villain is somewhat new to the table and is a grouchy older man who reads the newspaper while playing and complains of other people going too slow when he's one of the slowest people. Your typical douche bag that can get tricky like just calling with the nut flush on the tun and tries to check raise on the river when the 4th of the suit hits.

To the hand: 1/2 NL at the Taj. Villain limps UTG, 1 more limper, I limp with 55, 1 limper behind and both blinds.

Flop is 567 rainbow. Checked to me and I bet $15, SB calls and villain takes time and calls.

Turn is A that puts backdoor draw out there. Checked to me, I bet $60 into an almost $60 pot. SB folds and Villain deliberates and eventually goes all in for $113 more. I barely have him covered. By playing with him the last 2 rounds, I'm pretty sure hes got a decent hand with the way he did it but didn't necessarily think the straight. Maybe 2 pair. I call. He flips 89s for the nuts and I don't pair up on the river.

Thoughts on this hand? I don't want to check behind on the turn to give any striaght draws a free chance. Is this just inevitable?

Tough situation. I think I would have lost my stack as well. You certainly can't check that turn.

No, I go broke here too, this is one where the stack size dictates that you lose all your money when you do lose. This is especially true if it was only about another $60 for you to call, 3:1 with 11 outs sounds fine to me when you are behind and the possibility of him having top two makes it really easy to justify those odds. If you both had $300 or more you can fold easily.

Realize that you are calling from behind often when you make this play against a grouchy old rock that put down the paper long enough to show you the nuts. You are going to be up against the straight or slowplayed AA pretty frequently, however old rocks get busy with two pair as well. At least all in on the turn, you have a chance of sucking out when you need too.

another thing that pissed me off is after he turned over his hand, this loud mouth in a poker stars hat (who hasn't shut up about the hands he's played for the last 30 minutes) decides that I was drawing dead when I went in thinking I had 8x or something. Dumbass didn't even consider a set. I took the $12 I had left and got up from the table. I truly wanted to do what happened in the first episode of "Tilt" and just leap across the table and attack both these guys.

trodgers, I'm not sure if you play live often but people calling pot sized bets with draws, pairs and overcards are very common.
