Default Re: Not sure I played this correctly, comments appreciated.

The call of the re-raise seems straight-forward but I even wonder that since you're drawing to the probable nut flush (yes, a straight flush could be out there - there's those damn monsters again! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]) whether you should cap the turn. My quickie calculations seem to indicate that you'd be getting the odds (16 BBs to you and then you bet 3) to do so, so would you do this for value anyone?

No. You don't bet for value based on pot odds, you bet for value based on pot equity. In other words, you have about 4-1 to make the flush, but since there are only 3 other players in, you only get 3 to 1 on raises. Add in the possibility that BB will fold, and it gets worse.
