Re: common sickening river card decision...
I have a virtually identical thread right now elsewhere here, only it was live. I think it can be a very tough laydown since you know that your opponent knows that you weren't betting a flush draw, so they know you don't have the flush, and it's very easy to imagine a good, aggressive player pushing that river thinking you can't call without it. That would be my biggest reason for calling.
However, the last several times this has happened to me, they had it every time. Not enough people just have the balls for that kind of bluff and until I know that my opponent does from having seen them do it before, assume they got it.
