Default Re: Could you fold FH on the river?

hi pilchard
you should raise here pilchard. you likely have the lead here actually. the only hands that beat you are J9d and AJd, so there is only 1 possible hand that beats yours, if your opponents wouldn't enter in from UTG positions with KT or QT, and you have every reason to believe they wouldn,t. it looks like UTG+ has the second nut flush, and UTG has two pair.

now, the turn checks by both opponents are suspicious on that draw infested board. however, since the possibility of a set is very remote, and there is only one straight flush possible, you certainly beat at least one opponent. the other opponent could have the less than nut flush trying to hit a straight flush, and checking it on the turn because his hand can improve. so you're definately not against a nut flush, that's true, but you are likely against top two pair and a second nut flush.

you must reraise. you may even get the unlikely QT to fold given the frightening board. no you say? a raise would never fold a full-house? pilchard, let me tell you something. on this frightening board a raise or reraise may actually fold a full-house! but don't tell antone. it's a guarded secret.
