Re: QTs makes flush on non-pair board, calls river raise

One thing I forgot to add. When I'm in Villain's position on the river I wouldn't raise with the 7 or 8 high flush. I would go for the overcall which would also keep me from being reraised by the nut flush. If I have the nut flush then I hope to see the river capped.

With only one more player behind you I think this is a mistake.

If I call and UTG folds I've lost 1BB (if I'm ahead). If UTG calls I break even. If I raise then UTG will most likely fold. If I raise and get reraised am I going to fold? I don't think you can at this level. So when I lose to the higher flush I lose TWO additional BB.
You may say the odds of being over-flushed aren't that great but if you look how the hand played out then it wouldn't be unreasonable to suspect that Hero here also had a flush. If he does then most likely it's higher than our 7 high.
So it comes down to I'm risking missing out on 1 BB in order to possibly save losing 3 BB. I think it's a good play so that's the way I play it. If I'm wrong then so be it.
