Looks good.

Hm, I would personally raise again on the flop to see where I really stand
Considering he is still betting the turn/river means he is not afraid of any of the cards that have come he seems fearless, even trips would slow down on the river.
I think reraise on the flop would have better defined your hand and saved you some cash. ( im assuming you lost )

I would get as much as I could in on the flop too. It's not like your hand is getting any better and it's hard to not fold the best hand if a 4rth flush card hits the board.

Fold preflop.

Raise the flop again and hope he pushes. I'm willing to pay off a higher flopped flush here because its so unlikely. The less streets you see before your moneys in the middle the better.

Results: villian showed As9s for the nut flush

I still have mixed feelings about the way this hand played out. I think TalentedTom hit it right on the nose. As soon as the hand was over that's exactly what I was thinking. I think I should have either reraised on the flop, or folded the river. The board shows 4 to a straight, and villian doesn't seem bothered. Looking back, it seems the only hand villian could have that I beat is a straight, which I think is very very unlikely, seeing as villian either chops the pot or loses to a flush (if he does have a straight).


Consider this hypothetical situation on the flop:

B_Rice56: Bet ($3)
spank63 : Fold
gopgap : Fold
fuzzybear11: Raise ($6)
B_Rice56: Raise ($20)
fuzzybear11: Call ($14)

How do you play the turn out of position now? Like this maybe?

*** TURN *** : [ Ts Qs 2s ] [ Ac ]
B_Rice56: Bet ($30)
fuzzybear11: Call ($30)

What about the river?

*** RIVER *** : [ Ts Qs 2s Ac ] [ Kc ]
B_Rice56: ???

On the river the pot is roughly $105 and villian has about $45 behind. Any bet obviously commits me to the pot, but if check and villian pushes, is this an instacall? Maybe bet less on the turn so that we're not so pot-stuck on the river? Thoughts?

Low suited 2-gapper with only 2 limpers, don't see the implied odds here. A lot of potential to be a second best hand.. But maybe I'm too tight from SB (VP$P 18).

Completing the SB here with 74s is fine......

I would reraise that flop. The last thing you want to see on 4th or 5th is the 4th spade with your high spade only being a 7.

On the turn you have to lead out. Villain's play here can easily be the lone As. Forget the results, you let him see a cheap turn by just calling his min-raise and then checked the turn to him allowing him to get a free river if he chose to.

If you can't play this hand agressively like you should, you may want to just consider not completing with a hand like this.

raise the flop, push the turn if the four flush doesnt appear.
cry when beaten.
i think opps play is sloppy to raise the flop imo
