All right. preflop you limp in UTG with an MP Poster.
The Poster raises, and after the button calls-
You limp- reraise to $100 both the MP raiser and the button call.
The limp reraise theoretically says you have a monster and don't mind action.
The flop comes with all undercards, but a possible flush draw. Now after showing great strength preflop, you check.
Most players would see this as a trap after your LRR. looks like you are looking to take the pot down with a checkraise.
MP overbets the pot. This looks like he has a hand that he is trying to protect by forcing everyone out. (I guess he didn't see the checkraise?)
You probably have the best hand, but you just call. Not a "I'll call this net and see what the turn brings" call either a "HOLY SHIT that's half my chips but I'll call anyway" call.
Against most players if you checkraise all in here after your LRR, you take the pot down (maybe even against QQ)
The turn brings an overcard and completes the flush. It also demotes your hand from big overpair to weak-ass flush draw.
Now that your hand has gone down the toilet, you decide that this would be the best time to commit your chips to the pot.
However, unlike the strong flop checkraise after the Limp-reraise, Now what you have is a weak less-than-half-pot "I hope you fold bet"
Getting over 3 to 1 and thoroughly confused, your opponent feels the need to call.
You played it like a donkey, He played it like a fish. This is how we make big pots.
