Re: Quick question on this 5/5 hand...
Hi coltrane,
I say call, and it's not close. Fast-playing big hands is a great tactic at this limit, since many automatically slowplay a set or better, and assume everyone else does, too. But in this hand, you have a freakin' monster. I call, hoping some players come in behind me (it's just too beautiful a dream to hope someone behind you raises). I'll come alive on the turn, though, or on the flop, if someone else puts in a raise; my main concern in this hand is an action-killing 4th flush card.
You will be able to escape if the board pairs, and one of these jokers comes alive. Call and go for a multi-way pot.
