Very nice fold.

If you had a set though (especially 44 /images/graemlins/cool.gif) his play would have been perfect.

I don't understand why you are playing this hand UTG. But nonetheless, you certainly hit the flop strong. I am amazed that you were able to lay this hand down. Obviously it was the right decision.

Its just freak stuff. You were 120 to 1 to flop a flush. God knows what the odds were against on him picking up that hand.

I usually don't play SC:s UTG. Don't know why I limped it here. Might have been a mis-cklick.

Huh?

I have to ask... if you’re not willing to play a flush here, then what will you play? Are you looking to flop quads? His river bet was a pretty standard 1/2 pot bet... you have to be losing 2 out of 3 hands to make that a correct fold. Do you think that &gt;67% of the time here, your hand is beat?

Like the others said, it was a correct move here. But long term, I think that fold loses you a lot of money... but who knows, maybe that's just me.
