Default Re: Bottom boat - 20/40 live

Boats don't grow on trees for heavens sake! With a flopped straight and turn flush on the board, both are good possibilities, and both suit her playing personality. The straight makes more sense with the "too passive, too cute" quality.

No it doesn't. Her play appears like 77: a flopped set that slowed down on the turn when the flush came, and then woke back up when the board paired. The OP's hand looks a lot like a flush. He cold-called with two spades on the board and raised when the third spade hit, so she should put him on a flush. She doesn't seem like the player to checkraise the river with just a flush (or worse) because of the board pairing. You can say "boats don't grow on trees" but that doesn't mean you have to ignore hand reading. On a board of QQ33x, are you getting in a raising war with a 3 because "you have a boat?"
