Turn makes my straight but possible flush

[prrthd]

Should I be afraid of the flush here? I'm feeling passive recently after the flop and my stats are showing it. The turn card was what I was hoping for but it also completed a flush. When I was re-raised on the turn was the call down the right thing to do?

I think you have more to worry about with the board pairing then with the flush card. I think a call down was fine here. Unless the guy was a nut, he will fold to a raise on the river if he was bluffing anyways.

Anyone else question the preflop call? Flop, turn, and river seem fine. I'd need a read before I could cap here.

I agree. BB betting out the flop doesn't look like he's on a flush draw, but a read would be helpful. I think calling down is fine.

Are you basing this on the fact that there was only one caller before me PF?

And the fact that you're in MP2. I don't like suited one gappers much; I think it's easier preflop if you've got two limpers or are a little later in position. That said, it isn't horrible, just a little loose.

I agree unless this is a super loose table, dump that junk pre flop in MP2. So far you have 1 caller, plus maybe both of the blinds.

Kind of funny since I started playing J9 suited based on the starting hand chart of SSH. It is also a winning hand for me in poker tracker.

I'd call this in .5/1, but in my very limited experience this might be too loose for 1/2 full ring.

BB turns over K9 of hearts and MHIG.

64s is an inredibly good hand for me in PokerTracker, but I don't play it in EP. Like I said, it isn't terrible, but I think it's a little loose -- much easier when you have two callers here. If MP3 or CO raises and the field is thinned, I'm not a happy camper.

That said, preflop decisions are very marginally -EV if they are EV for hands like this (in situations like this), or very marginally +EV. It doesn't make a huge difference, but I'd like the call more in the CO or (definitely) on the button. In $1/2 you won't be able to make this call very often, from my experience.

I will keep this in mind since I am just starting out in 1/2. I tightened up when I moved to 1/2 but maybe not quite enough.

Thanks for the explanation.
