Nut flush on a paired board facing strength (50$ NL on Party).

It was the first time I did that on this table but Vilain was only at the table for about half an hour and I haven't noticed anything particular about him.

well I don't think either way is too bad.

I might push just because I think it gives me more insight on future hands against villain.

Ok thank you. I actually pushed and he showed 77 for the full house.

The thing that stinks to high heaven about this hand is the min-reraise after Hero's turn C/R. Is it -EV to fold in this spot against an unknown at $50NL? Villain seems like he really wants hero to get his chips in the middle. Most of the time we're going to see 77, Kx, or a lower flush (Th9h??) But I don't see a lower flush re-raising unless he's a known aggro, and Kx has the same problem.

Well if he has a king you are good. It is doubtful he has K7 or K3. People love to limp in with medium pockets though. Heads up it is hard to give someone credit for having a hand that beat your nut flush. If a few people were in the pot and showing interest I would be a lot more apt to fold.

Do you think that Kx is going to min-reraise after a check raise on a 3 flushed board? I guess if they were an enormous donk, maybe, but I think that most of the time a Kx is going to just call after the check raise.

I would have pushed. Only hand I'm afraid of is 77 and he might very well have a lower flush.
