I know I was very lucky but I think they brought it on themselves.

Paddleboats checked a flopped trips, I bet- straight draw, and they only called- raises here and I would have folded.

Turn comes a spades so I've got flush and straight. Paddleboats checks the turn- what is he playing at????

I bet 8 on the steal hoping to get flush on river- may call of the raises was bad and I got lucky but they slowed played big hands and cost them both.

Although I was lucky, I mean I was $15 into the pot and thought I had a good chance of hitting my cards, I know it was bad but just shows the dangers of slow playing - as if my flop bet had have been raised, I would have folded.

Just also noticed that Dark Angel, with QQQ, only called my $8 bet on the turn, he was effectively inviting me to get a free river.

Thoughts on whether I should have folded- I bet $8 and got a call and a +$4 raise, the pot was around $50 here, so I feel calling all in on the turn was fair enough in all honesty.

These hands are much easier to play from positon. I don't see limp calling in EP with SG's being a profitable play in the long run. Just fold preflop.
