Tough play preflop. If you raise, you gotta raise more with so many limpers. With so many limpers I might just see the flop for free.
I don't cbet the (relatively ugly) flop, especially 4-handed.
And I must be listening to Fnord more because I agree about the opp play. He made a pretty common mistake PF (and one I'm sure we've all made before), but his calls after that are not totally beyond reason. Someone here has a great sig about arrogance (or underestimating opponents) being a cardinal sin in poker.
It doesn't seem like the opp was a strong player, but let's check the math...
I think we all agree the PF call was bad. But it was done. The flop for the opp isn't bad.
FLOP:
Oesd; 8 outs/47 cards = 17% chance of winning
this discounts the fact that the 3 and 6 are both live but this is not an unreasonable assumption.
Call: $9 to win $30 = 30% pot contribution. This is a bad call on pot odds but could be justified by implied odds. In fact, the poster's turn bet confirms those implied odds.
TURN:
OESD (8 outs), plus trip 3s (2 outs), plus two pair (3 more outs). I count 13 outs.
13 outs/46 cards = 28% chance to draw out.
Call: $12 to win $44 pot= 27% pot contribution. Fully justified for pot odds.

Now if only I could do that during a hand...
