Dont play this hand preflop if you are planning to fold getting odds on your flush draw later in the hand.

Thats what I wasnt sure aboutt though, calling 420 without even closing the action. That's a +EV call there? If the other guy wouldnt have minraised it to 420 I wouldve called the 210 of course. I was also worried about the possibility of a higher flushdraw with all the continued action postflop. Thanks for the input though.

If Westikal didn't raise the first time he had a chance, he's not going to raise here. You can be reasonably sure you'll see the turn for just 420.

Um, you really ARE closing the action. Are you really afraid of the guy who flat called the all in reraising you? He's the only one left.

The pot is laying you about 5:1. Like the last poster said, if you're not planning to play a flush draw with odds, I don't know why you called preflop.

The possibility of a higher flushdraw is small. With all those big cards out there it's much more likely to be facing some pair/straight draw type hands. Also note that the Kd and Qd are out there, taking away some of the likely higher flush draw possibilities.

If you win this fat pot you will be in stupendous shape. Call, hit your hand, rake in the huge pot, and make a run for first.
