flopped baby flush

Regarding the river bet. I do agree this is one time I think you can go into a check/call mode, because you really don't want to call a raise.

And CO clearly had AQs for the royal on the river. He didn't raise you because he probably wanted to make sure he would show down the hand for everyone to see. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I really dont think you can go for the c/r in this situation. I think you want to get as many people out as possible. Try to win the pot right there.

Ding! Ding! Ding! No more calls -- we have a winner!

Based on the emoticon, you might've been joking, but that's exactly what he had. Seriously, I think he was excited about the nut flush, then was so worried about the paired board that he didn't notice his Royal, although he didn't say anything about missing bets in the chat (probably too embarrased that he missed it).

In the end, his strategy worked out for him, since I would've folded to his pre-flop raise.

Bad plan -> good results -> a fish is born...

Actually, I was serious about that line of reasoning. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone not raise the river there because they have the "muck/don't show" button checked and they want to make sure everyone gets to see their big hand.

I can actually believe that -- I hit my one and only straight flush on the turn and was really bummed that my one opponent folded to my turn raise.
