Good fold? Or weak-tight? I dunno why I didn't just call, but after seeing the A come up I'm kinda glad I didn't. I just had a gut feeling he had the flush made. The check, then all of the sudden coming alive. And against 3 people, I didn't think that there was a possibility of TPTK being any good. Thoughts on this?

Yeah, most likely. I think going for an over call on the river wouldn't be to bad either.

I don't think this is a good indicator of the correct play in most circumstances. And certainly not in online play without an incredibly strong read (beyond stats).

There's quite a bit of players who bet when they get flush draws. This is pretty weak.

Without any reads, I respect SB here, betting into the PF raiser and flop bettor. Looks like he made his flush or hit his 99 set. I would rather raise the turn and fold to a 3bet than call the turn. If SB just calls the raise, good chance for a free showdown on the river. If not, I might fold the River UI.

I notice the pot is pretty small here, so the fold wasn't terrible.

I wouldn't.

Why not go for overcalls?

You want to see showdown as cheaply as possible with TPTK. Calling both turn &amp; river costs you 2 bets the same as raise/fold on the turn. Why not see showdown?

Also if villan calls the raise why are we going for a free showdown again?
