Re: Meta and Future Value
First of all, he didn't bad beat you. He flopped an oesd and rivered the flush, such is life. I think your laydown is fine in the heat of battle as most of the time when a player says this he's being sincere and at least hit a strait on ya.
On your other question, raising w/the nuts is an absolute must. After he says he bad beat you, he is paying you off close to 100% of the time on your river raise so this raise is worth close to 1 full BB. On top of that, how often will you actually be in a hand like this against him in this type of situation? Multiply that by the times that he will announce that he has bad beat you and I think that you will not make 1 BB back from him by just calling the river when you make the nuts.
