I'd raise this one everytime.
Just because SB bets doesn't mean he has a higher flush. I usually continue to bet myself in this situation if I have a decent holding. Besides if he has a lone [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or trips you wan't to make him pay as much as possible (although you can't force him to make an error) to draw out on you. If reraised, call down. -Edit- If your lucky and SB doesn't have a spade you may even get the button to fold a small [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] thinking he's drawing dead. |

Re: fish donkbets my flush on the turn...was I correct to raise?
I'd raise. Given his preflop play the only hands he's likely to hold that beat you are AK/AQ/KQs or JJ (or poss 77 (there's a tiny chance he's playing 99, but not worth worrying about.) Obviously he could be playing any AA/KK/QQ/AJ or any single Ace of spades too, so worth a raise. If he 3-bets, I call though, given the board has paired and you've got a mini flush.

I fold this preflop most of the time.
Flop raise is read-dependend. Raise the turn. |

Grunching . . .
Uh, fold preflop? You have suited connectors, but your hand stinks. Seriously. The blind raising is your worst nightmare, 'cause now you're in for two bets with this piece-of-crap hand. On the flop you . . . raised?? Well, you got three callers so it's worth it. You've made your flush on the turn. Now, raising is essential. You don't want either one of them to draw to a bigger flush or a boat without paying dearly for the privelege. |

Yes, raise the turn. The preflop call and the flop raise might be questionable, but raising the turn is not.
You say SB is a fish and the bet is a donkbet so what is there to hesitate about? Your only worry is the button, who coldcalled on the flop. Might have a bigger flush. The SB, if he really is a fish, likely has AA, KK, or QQ. He will pay you off and spend the next month ranting about his bad beat. |

you people need to rethink your preflop play if you're folding that.

You good players can make money with it and it is probably a lot of fun too. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] So I can see it would be a good way to sharpen your post flop play. Like raising this flop with at best a 30% equity to buy the button, as a free card play and to get more bets in if you hit the turn and the action dries up. Neh? |

As standard as it gets, especially with a low flush, because you want Button to pay 2 BB to see the river with a higher spade.
