Default Re: Tough river call with low flush

I'm not as knowledgeable as some of the other players here but before I saw any replies to your OP I said it was an easy call, and I stick to it. Here's my reasoning:

First of all it goes without saying that much depends on your read on this player from prior hands. Is he aggressive or passive? It might be a fold if he's been a rock for the most part. But I assume he hasn't been.

I would have put him on second pair. It seemed to me that he was trying to get you off the hand on the turn with the raise. When you called, he put you on top pair, but thought he got lucky when the river gave him trips.

I definitely would have reraised him on turn instead of just calling. By this point, you have a good pot to take down, and raising would give you some more information about the hand. If he was bluffing, he would have folded, and you take a nice pot. If he calls, then he is on a strong hand, but you probably still have him beat unless he also flopped the flush.

But here's the thing. On the river you've already built about a $59 pot. Him betting the pot still gives you enough odds to call with a flush. My thinking is that if he got lucky enough to hit the full, you're just gonna have to pay him off here. Which is why you have to have the bank roll and stomach for NL

(But you shoulda reraised turn, maybe gone all in).
