4th nut flush played o.k.?

[MagicRat]

Villain is 30.30% VPIP; 0.00% (!!) PFR in 30+ hands.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="666666">4 folds</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="666666">3 folds</font>, Hero completes, <font color="CC3333">BB raises</font>, MP2 calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, Hero calls, BB calls.

Villain hit his K or has a flush draw too?? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Turn: (6 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB folds, MP2 calls.

I've made my flush so this is correct, no, or too "fancy"?? Should I have just bet out with the flush?? Since there was action on the flop I thought it was a safe bet that my check-raise would be successful...


River: (10 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero ...</font>

Wow, now I'm thinking maybe I played the pre-flop wrong too. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Should I have raised??

Preflop: Easy fold. Why play a bad shorthanded hand against a preflop open raiser in the worst position. Terrible, terrible call.

Flop: Fine.

Turn: Good time to checkraise.

River: Bet and call a raise. Unlikely your opp has flush as he would have reraised the turn. Only hand you fear is KK.

[Victor]

Just read the stats on your opp. 30 hands isnt much but 0 raises means he proly has some quality here. Makes an even more awful preflop call.

Hero completed his SB and then called BBs raise. If he called the raise cold, then I'd agree with. He was getting 5-1 on his call when it got back to him. Not seeing a flop here is a mistake IMO. Folding is weak.

I'd just put him on a K here, specifically AK given his PF numbers. If his post-flop play is similar to his pre-flop play, I don't see him raising with a flush draw.

Again, based on the limited information you have on this player, he seems passive, so checking against this type of player on a 3 flushed board, you could risk it checking through. I have seen these loose-passives check turns with sets. So, I would bet out here. Good thing it worked out for you anyways.

Pre-flop, calling is fine. You will be out of position the whole hand, and, you're hand isn't that strong. I don't think raising is wrong though. Probably doesn't make much of a difference in the long run.

River: (10 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls.

Final Pot: 12 BB

Results:
Hero has Jd Td (flush, jack high).
MP2 has 9d Qd (flush, queen high).
Outcome: MP2 wins 12 BB.


I guess his pre-flop passivity meant something! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I think I should've lost at least one more BB along the way...
