$5 NLHE 6-max: Could I have done something differently or is this just your classic cooler situation
Is there anyway I could have avoided the situation below, where my opponent flopped the nuts, trapped them, and I didn't get stacked with my straight? I figured it was super unlikely he flopped the nuts, even less likely he checked than called to trap, but I was totally wrong. Did I make the right play or was this a mistake?
