So, with this guy pretty much just calling down the coming out of the woodwork on the river, I probably shouldn't have capped. Seemed like a real long-shot that I was behind to a flush, though =/

PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (8 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

Preflop: Hero is Button with , . CO posts a blind of $0.25.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 1 fold, MP2 calls, CO (poster) checks, Hero raises, 2 folds, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls, CO calls.

Flop: (9.40 SB) , , (4 players)
UTG+1 bets, MP2 calls, CO calls, Hero raises, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls, CO folds.

Turn: (8.20 BB) (3 players)
UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls.

River: (11.20 BB) (3 players)
UTG+1 bets, MP2 folds, Hero raises, UTG+1 3-bets, Hero caps, UTG+1 calls.

Final Pot: 22.20 BB

Results in white below:
UTG+1 has Js Ks (flush, king high).
Hero has Kc Kh (three of a kind, kings).
Outcome: UTG+1 wins 22.20 BB.

yeah, the only time you're allowed to cap the river here is you can beat the flush or the straight. IE you need to have a Full house.

If it were the runner-runner flush and the 5 didn't also complete the Open Ended straight, I can imagine getting to 3 bets before the alarms are going off in my head, but comeon, the only BETTER card to come off on the river would be the 8s
The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

I may cap the river, although it's probably close I probably call the river 3-bet and palmface

Yeah, the passive check-calling followed by a river donk when two draws complete. If you don't beat at least one of those draws you should make the crying call. If you have a read of him as anything at all tricky you might raise, but otherwise you are beaten here.

I raise-call the river. Most villains will check-raise that river if they hit their draw.
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
