I won the hand, but was it the right call?

    Fixed Limit MTT 2k guaranteed on PS. Screen name:Poolplyr007
    Tough river call - was it correct? I was thinking afterwards I should have bet the turn, but I was expecting a check raise when the 3rd club hit.

    Limit, you really have to call there. Not sure what he's betting with, since you almost have to call.

    Limit is all about pot odds and picking the right hands to be in with.

    That being said, why check the turn. Sure, a lot of draws hit, but he checked to you, and I'd expect him to bet if he hit. Betting there might have avoided that.

    That being said, I'm not sure how much logic is going to do for you. He had a 4-6 suited, completely bombed the flop, and then maxed it, on a pot that you weren't going to fold.
