Default 98s

Canterbury 8/16
UTG here is a solid, aggressive old dude. He plays well from the few times I have played with him.

UTG limps, two other guys limp, SB calls, I check with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the BB.

Flop (5 players): Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB checks, I bet, UTG raises, everyone else folds, I call.

Turn (2 players): 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I check, UTG checks

River (2 players): 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I......

should have 3-bet the flop, and now given the action will bet and call a raise on the river.

Is there any way this player raises with a worse hand on the river?

a lower flush, however likely that is. I think this is an easy bet/call, considering the aggressiveness of the opponent.

Possibly but he played it an awful lot like a flush draw (most likely better than ours). It is very unlikely that someone ever beats you with a higher flush draw but if we get raised here I do not see too many other possible hands for villain, possibly a 4? I don't know if I like re-raising.

I definitely don't like reraising. I would strongly consider folding to a river raise from a solid live player.

Online, I would bet call.


But, if you have him read as a solid. I think you can bet/fold this.

I guess using my logic, it is a fold. I guess I could just never see folding a flush here though.

I would bet fold or c/call. He made an obvious free card play and most likely has a higher flush draw -- he MAY have limped with another 98s or 54s and been on an OESD, but I think this is less likely.

Since he limped from UTG and you say he is solid, this looks like Ax suited or possibly suited broadways. I think you are behind here at least 80% of the time.

However, the small chance that he was on a straight draw or doing some other weird thing may dictate that you see a showdown. If you feel it does, and especially if you think he bets a busted draw here, I like a c/call.
