On Live at the Bike yesterday the commentators were talking about how you can't just shut down 100% of the time when the third card to a flush hits. I call the river.

Another option is to check call the turn and check call the river. But I don't like giving a free card to like A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Jx.

Yep, gotta call here, I'm afraid. I prefer betting the turn to prevent free cards and also get information. I don't think he raises the turn here with the flush, unless it's a very low one.

That's my line. I don't mind giving free cards when I may already be smashed.

I'd reraise the turn.

Much of the time. I see villain's line being Ah x, maybe he called the flop bet because he hit his kicker on flop, raised the turn incase a 4th heart came on river, and hit 2 pair on river so value bet it.

Just a scenario besides "he hit his flush so im folding" that you could consider...Id raise all in on the river....

[hobbes9324]

I don't see how you can get away from the hand.
Especially at lower buy-ins, there are just too many
hands that some donk could be playing that you can beat.

Sometimes, things just suck.

[Dr_Jeckyl_00]

I have called (when tilting) and folded (when playing well) in this situation. I think more often then not when you are betting into an opponent and then they start betting into you, you're beaten. I would have bet more on the flop b/c I always try to protect my hand with a drawing board. then maybe CR the turn, fold if reraised. In your situation, I would probably fold to his turn raise... it is still early and you have enough chips to play for a while.

[Uppercut]

The Ace on the river doesn't seem to scare the villian, so it's pretty obvious he wasn't raising the turn with top pair. Unless he has AJo, I don't see how you are ahead after the river. Fold and conserve your remaining chips. 530 is still a lot at level 1.

[Matt R.]

I fold the river. Your set is almost always beat here, and your stack is really hurting if you call and are wrong.

Are you joking? He never has AJ here?
