Stringing Along

I was playing 2-5 nl holdem and had raised two limpers to 35$ preflop with AhKd.

They called and I missed the flop as usual.
Flop Qs 9s 4d. they checked and I bet 75, I had been short stacking so I had less than that left.

The first limper folded the second one counted out a lot of chips and said I call the 75 and raise him 75 more. I said "I believe that's a string bet sir" Immediately the chatty players started echoing "string, string string" The quiet dealer would have told him it was a string bet, if she spoke English. Eventually the floor came by and ruled it a string.

This is exactly the situation the rule is in place for. So he was left with just a call.

Turn 5s. Well that's spiffy, on the slim chance he had a flush draw, he's there. He reached for his chips and then checked. I checked before anyone called for a balk :>

River Kc He sets me all in for about 65. (well actually he bet so I'd have 6$ left. I called so I could keep the 6$ i lost). He had JJ with the J of spades. I don't know where to start the lol and lmao on that one.

aftermath: The JJ villain went ballistic cussing out me and the entire table. Ironically he seemed most pissed off at the one player who had confirmed that it was a string bet. Shooting the messenger is still commonplace among the unrefined I guess. It worked out fine because said player busted the foul mouthed former holder of JJ on the next hand.

Villain made a speech before leaving; He's a maniac, he's a solid player [pointing to me!] and he [pointing at messenger] is a conniving bastard.For the next hour whenever the messenger made a move, I said "we know your conniving something"
