.5/1 NL 6 max, ace high straight with three flush

[Phoenix1010]

.5/1 NL 6 max on Absolute. Villain is a tight, very solid regular who knows what he's doing, but is a bit on the passive side. Hero probably has a tight passive image as well. Effective stacks are $122.

Hero is UTG+1 with AsKh
UTG Raises to $4, Hero calls, BB calls.
Flop: Jh 5h 10d
Checks around.
Turn: 3d
BB checks, UTG bets $3, Hero calls.
River: Qd
Villain bets $15, Hero raises to $40,
At this point villain types "Crap, I guess you have AK." he then pauses for about 5 seconds, then types "I have to see it" and then reraises all-in.

First, do you always raise the river? Second, as played, do you ever consider folding to the push?

He's got the flush and is trying to induce you to call. If he is as good a player as you indicate he's calling, not raising, this with AQ. Do the opposite of what he wants and fold.

Yeah. He's good enough to put you on AK, and his talk is urging you to call. Only hand he'd value bet here is a flush (or AK which is also a slight possibility).

If he's really bluffing: perfectly executed on his part, so you just gotta let him get away with it IMO.

I cannot find a call here.

Any others?

His line looks alot like flush AKd and I don't see any other made hand play like this other than nut straight or flush. I fold.

[wdeadwyler]

Fold this. You are a huge dog to his range. If he bluffed, he is doing a hell of a job, and I doubt he is smart enough to pull this bluff (along with this chat) here.

Call him down. I'd expect to see 89, JJ, QQ, enough to make this worthwile.
