wow thats difficult.

i'm inclined to fold at first... but it occurs to me that, you'd think if he had made his flush, he wouldn't lead out here as a scare bet.

so maybe i put him on a pair and a big heart? but maybe that's just me putting him on hands i can beat.

this would definitely set me to thinking. ultimately, with no reads i think i push, get called by QhJh, and catch an ace on the river to fill up.

it's really close though, for me. maybe it should be a clear fold.

the only situation i could see him leading out here is if he had a vulnerable flush -- something like 8h9h, and didn't want you to catch the fourth heart to make a higher flush for free.


good hand to post though.

I curse (waking the dog in the process /images/graemlins/grin.gif) and lay this down.

I do make a note that he makes pot sized bets when third flush card hits though, cause the idea of folding is to use information like this later.

And that's exactly why I committed to the hand and pushed. He shows A7 with the 7 of hearts and I take down the pot when a blank hits the river.
