Default RESULTS

SB shows 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and MHIG.

Rationale: when he checks the flop, I don't know whether or not he has the flush, but I know he doesn't have an ace.

When he checks the turn after the K hits, I'm going to bet. I minbet partially because I expect any flush but the nuts to decloak and raise, but more so because he's a thinking player and I know the minbet will look weak. Thus if any non-club scare card hits on the river I expect him to bluff at the pot.

The board pairs 8's and he bets small enough that I don't mind calling even if I'm behind 3/4 of the time (but in this case I doubt it).

If he were to check the river I would have checked behind as I expect I'd only be called by hands that beat me.
