Did I make a bad bet on the river?

Re: Bad River Bet?
 

This hand is 100% standard. This is a good river value bet against a typical opponent. Calling the river raise is fine.

Re: Bad River Bet?
 

You realize you have a flush right?

Re: Bad River Bet?
 

Yes, but it's only the third nut flush and his reraise I put him on the higher flush.

Re: Bad River Bet?
 

Yes I realize this.

But you have a flush, therefore you bet the river.

Re: Bad River Bet?
 

Alright, thanks.

and if you have the Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] , do you put him on the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ?

Re: Bad River Bet?
 

Not necessarily, but by the same token I'm not going to bet out with 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] if I put him on the higher flush, I'll just call.
