Default Re: Ugh... concede or call on the river?

I agree that my mistake was on the turn, but unless he went all in or made a substantial raise, I would have called and gone down the same way.

But in this situation that is a big save for you. Since it turned out that both had a king, it's quite possible that you'd see heavy betting in response to a bigger turn bet from you. And then whether or not you call depends on the size of the bet to you... your implied odds are simple to calculate in this situation, since at best all three of you are all-in on the river if you nail your flush.

If both of them have kings, three of your flush cards are tainted, so the final pot would need to pay about 7.5:1 for you to want to call the turn. Factor in the possibility that just one (or neither) of them has a king or that you're drawing dead against a made full house, and that's where your decision to "concede or call on the river" should have been made.
