Default Re: So what\'s the consensus on this river? (flush)

Eh, give me an example where going for overcalls with the nuts is right.

Ok, board is not suited and is AQJK2. You have a TT. There is a bettor and you are second to act with 4 people after you. You have the nuts. Is raising close? Don't think so. Top pair or two pair or a set will probably fold for a raise but will probably call if you just call.

I'll bet raising is a close decision and if it's a close decision, I'll go with the one that opens the betting again.

Opening up the betting is fine as a general rule of thumb, but is clearly wrong in this case.
