I played this hand in a tournament on Absolute. I'
m "DENOUEMENT." I'
m not sure if i made the correct decision in calling "HITTHATFLUSH"'s
all-in raise after the
turn card came up. He had been stealing a lot of pots with wild bluffs, occasionally going
all-in with crap hands and getting extremely lucky draws to straights and
flush. After the
flop came down on this particular hand everyone checked to me and I bet with my
pair of kings (normally I wouldn't but the players at the table didn't seem to fond of
check raising). Then the
turn came and HITTHATFLUSH goes all in. I knew he wasn't slowplaying three queens because,
well frankly, slowplaying his good hands wasn't his style and he had been pushing all in quite frequently with nothing. I knew he might've been on a
flush draw, so I called. Everyone else folds and on the
river another heart comes up and he makes his
flush. I can't see how I misplayed this hand except for one reason--knowing that he was on a
flush draw, and knowing that he had 4X the amount of chips I did and that I'd be knocked out if he hit his
flush but he wouldn't be knocked out if he didn't, was I wrong in taking the risk? Was he right to
push all-in because of this, and was I wrong to
call? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Here it is:
