Slowplay with boat at $2/$4
 

I wasn't totally convinced seat 1 had the flush (aces up are possible - he wasn't all that smart), but hoped he was on a flush draw. Seat 2 was playing solid cards I think (not relevant here, but it might be an indicator that he isn’t stupid). The other two suck.

I'm inclined to re-raise here on 5th as they'll (the sucks) will call another 1 bet each, but on 6th you get them for more than that.

The question is had you re-raised on 5th would these two have folded to any action on 6th?

Either way I think you played it extremely well, and you had help from seat 2 who felt his hand was worth autobetting.

nh.

I wouldn't slowplay on 5th, and on 6th I would bet right out like I actualy had a flush. Either way I think it got played ok.

Checkraise the river.

It fits into the rhythm, and its very hard for his opponent to check down a flush. It will look like he whiffed with two pair or trips. Its very sneaky. Its also a real kick in the balls.

I would hate to miss a bet here - I lean towards a bet if you don't have a read on the opponents. Check-raise is obviously preferrable if you can rely on one of them to bet into you after you C/R'd sixth street, but I don't know too many people that willingly bet into sixth street checkraisers on the end.

This is a great play IMO, especially the kick in the balls
