All in call after hitting Q flush on river

#1 12-18-2005, 02:09 AM

My opponent is somewhat new to the table. The only read I have on him is that he is somewhat loose aggressive, but I haven't seen him make any extremely crazy plays.

hummmm i'm usually folding... you are getting around 2:1 on a call hoping he doesn't have the A or K for the higher flush... but in my experiances they usually don't push without it... just how i see it

Even lags are usually stupid on 4 flush boards. Fold to the raise.

Also, I think it's better to check/call the river here. Let him "valuebet" a worse diamond or a set/two pair, instead of forcing him to call the river with these holdings.
