Re: Time to wave the white flag?
"How is the Jh the worst card to hit the board? It gives you two pair and adds 4 outs to a house to your hand. also remember with two opponents neither may have the flush. You also have 8 outs to the straight (six clean) to anyone trying to play top pair or a set. It seems you have some good drawing possibilities here."
It's a bad card because it creates a terrifying board (9TJQ with three hearts), while making your hand just good enough to not want to fold. There are NO straight draws, as a K or 8 would mean the board plays (provided no one has a heart). |

Re: Time to wave the white flag?
I think a bet is automatic, after you get raised, then you can consider folding. What do they put you on right now, the coldcaller might have been calling with a jack, and the button might have bet a ten, a nine, or a jack. Neither one necessarily has either a queen or hearts.
That card has to be scary to anyone else who also doesn't have either of those holdings. Off to see how much everyone disagrees with me. |

Re: Time to wave the white flag?
I would probably checkraise or bet about an equal percentage of the time. Given your characterization of the button, I would checkraise more often.

--That's what I was trying to say, only much more concise. It's definitely an opponent-dependent play. |

Re: Time to wave the white flag?
Didn't read the responses.
Lets pretend that Q didn't make the flush... That's a pretty good card. You have no reason to suspect button has a Q, and since the other player didn't bet the flop you have no reason to suspect HE has a Queen; whereas both the opponents have reason to suspect YOU have a Queen. I would bet without hesitation, and if called hope to check-it-around on the river. But the Q DID make the flush. Yes, you have some problem here but I may bet tempted to bet it out depending on the opponents. - Louie |

Re: Time to wave the white flag?
Because he's only marginally more likely to be ahead, would only have half as many outs, and has what looks like a made hand.
