I check, I check, I call with a flush

This hand should be standard, but I really hated calling the river at the time.

SB seems to be an uneventful 20/4/2

I don't like the river call at all to tell you the truth.

i may have bet the flop
definitely bet the turn
definitely raise the river (depending on the results of my previous two moves - to clarify I wouldn't raise the river if I'd checked to this point)

if you're not betting the turn i don't see how you're calling the river

mmbt0ne · #6 03-03-2005, 08:01 PM

Well I did hit the flush on the river, so that factored into it some.

wyoak · #7 03-03-2005, 08:04 PM

2 7 or 9 beats you, plus the smaller possibility of a higher flush.
now i should warn you that I suck postflop so I'm most likely wrong.

definitely raise the river

This is an option but in a pot this size, I don't think it is the best option. The river is clearly a raise or fold proposition though with 3 people left to act behind the hero.

You would bet the flop w/ a backdoor flush and overs in to a field of 4? Sounds like spewing to me.

I would have done the same as you did...not that that means your right [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I dont like a river raise because it cuts off overcalls from people (who, if they have you beat will call and if not will fold) and then you can get 3-bet easily...i think raising the river is spewing. If I were in last position on the turn I might consider a bet to try and steal, but your position sucks so I like your flop and turn. I like the river because even though you are getting 3.5:1 to call, I think you might be good here at least that often...if it gets raised then I'm folding
