Two 3-flush hands I didn\'t like
 

Hand 1: Seat 3 is solid, Seat 8 is a fish.

Hand 2: previously in the session I limp reraised with rolled 555. Seats 5 and 7 are both mediocre but thinking players.

Re: Two 3-flush hands I didn\'t like
 

I change nothing,
Hand 1 you've got to be drawing to a 2 out at best on 6th, nothing you can do about that.
Hand 2 there isn't really a spot where you should be backing off, you have to try the river bluff.

Re: Two 3-flush hands I didn\'t like
 

On hand 1, I'm folding 3rd after the 2 re-raises. Getting raised by an over card while you're on a 3 flush doesn't seem like a good spot to me. Even if seat 8 is a fish, I'd be worried about rolled 7s. I'd fold and wait for an other hand.

No reason to fear rolled 7s here. But that doesn't mean the call on 3rd is necessarily best.

Re: Two 3-flush hands I didn\'t like
 

Betting out on 4th is the standard play with a four flush,so when you bet out on 5th,your deception is not too strong.This line propels you right into the 6th st.& river bets.I think I would have played it the same way,butI wonder what would have happened if you ad checked 4th?This may have been the more deceptive play,but I don't know whether it's a good play or not.

Re: Two 3-flush hands I didn\'t like
 

In my opinion the way I played third street mandates a bet on fourth street, especially since I caught a good card.

Re: Two 3-flush hands I didn\'t like
 

Yea,I'm not saying you played it wrong,because I think you played it right.

Why not?

Re: Two 3-flush hands I didn\'t like
 

I just now realized that you raised 3rd on this first hand.You're right .Not betting 4th is out of the question in this case.Jeez,it seems like I'm always misreading the problem on your hands.

The guy is an idiot. And I was almost positive he would slowplay rolled up trips. It was pretty clear his most likely hand was a big pair in the hole, or even something like (A7)7.
