    Default Near Nut Flushes

    What would you do in a situation like this? Villian seemed pretty solid. Do you agree with the river raise? What about the call of the reraise allin? Would you give credit for the king and just give it up?

    With your stack size I dont like a reraise putting in over half your chips because you cant fold if he 3bets. This is a tough spot because his bet is so small and you have a decent hand that you want to get more value from. However, given your stack size I really dont know if raising is correct, I dont think a Td is going to stack off against you, especially if villain is solid. I would probably call.

    The only hand I can possibly think he could have that you would beat here is a hand like 9 T and just can't fold because he is "pissed" that last fell.

    I lead more towards calling the river rather than raising (esspecially as large as you did), because if he does happen to reraise, he shows you the K 9/10. I doubt the T or less calls a large raise.

    One of the reasons I don't like calling down to 1 card flushes... you hardly ever get paid off.

    I'm always warry of the multiple street blocking bets with a 3 flush on the board. I'd say a good 75% of the time this is Kdx looking to get there cheap. If you want to raise the river, I'd only pop it to $5-6, fold to a push.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    Your loosing, lolololololololololol
    I raise the turn--as ^^^ says, this play is so often a flush draw blocking bet. As played, yes, small reraise, fold to push.

    Guess I have a new rule to follow, dump all non-nut 1 card flush draws, or should I try to keep the pot small, and stay in it for the straight draw? Although with three diamonds on the board already that cuts my straight outs to three, and a percentage of the time I am already drawing dead so maybe that is a bad idea too.

    I also called a preflop raise with KQos, probably not a good idea.

    BTW as you suspected villian showed Kd/rag and I was rebuying
