How do you play a flopped little flush?
 

Is check/folding the right thing to do here? Doesn't seem like this could be made profitable in the long run.

Re: How do you play a flopped little flush?
 

In this particular hand noone seems to like their hand all that much. You may be ok. I mean the only bet you need to call is the turn and you are getting decent odds on a marginal low draw and a marginal high.

I would put the bettor on a marginal flush, low draw, or a weak bluff attempt because he checked the flop and bet the turn. If he were strong there would be no reason for him to check on the river. He cant expect to check raise.

If there was a lot of action get away from it every time. In this case I would say calling one bet is ok.

I do not know the correct mathematical answer though.

Someone should tell bisonbison... sounds like it's evaluating Omaha hands as though they were hold 'em hands.
