Raise the river with a baby flush?
PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (6 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls, SB completes, Hero checks. Flop: (4 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP calls, Button calls, SB calls. Turn: (4 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> SB checks, Hero checks, MP checks, Button checks. River: (4 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>... Hero? SB is loose/passive. My initial thought is yes because I might not get 3-bet by a lot of medium flushes and there could be a lot of two pairs or a straight.

Re: Raise the river with a baby flush?
Wish u had reads on the people behind you. W/o them though i say go for overcalls. If the sb really is passive, hes not going to war with you unless he has u beat, so raising probably isnt that EV+ if at all.

Re: Raise the river with a baby flush?
One of our more attractive forum members made a post about this. You can not call here. Raise.

Re: Raise the river with a baby flush?
I like going for overcalls personally--I can't imagine anyone behind you is going to call 2 cold when they didn't bet the K on the turn. But they called on the flop, which makes me think they'll call one on the river. If at least one of them will call, you'll make the same as if you raise and only the SB calls, plus you won't open yourself up to a 3-bet from the SB.
If it's raised after you, I just call the raise, too. A 5-high flush isn't exactly the nuts (although you're probably best here most of the time).

Re: Raise the river with a baby flush?
That card makes a lot of potential two pairs and a few straights, so hell yes I'm raising.

Re: Raise the river with a baby flush?
basically: if you're not raising here, then you shouldn't have bet that flop.

Re: Raise the river with a baby flush?
Hell yes raise. My philosophy (and many others), if you think you've got the bettor beat - raise. I can't see you getting beat here. After the check turn, he's going to bet with any piece.
