scare card on the turn

[dennischambers]

This is a really interesting hand. I think the way it plays out depends on your image. If you are percieved as a loose, fast, action guy who will play draws aggressively, it's possible that that card also scared the crap out of the other two guys in the pot. This could lead one of them to throw away an overset maybe (8s), although i seriously doubt that happening. Furthermore, some very disciplined players would throw away their baby flushes (although, again, I doubt it). I think pushing all your money in here, even if they call, is probably ok, because, as you said, you have a redraw, and a decent chance of pairing the board or hitting a case 4. Also, it's possible these guys have something like an overpair (due to their preflop action) and were also scared of the flush. They might call, and you would have them dominated. I hope this helps. I would like to see other people's takes on this hand as well. Also, i'd be curious to hear some results too. Thanks, Andrew
