BAAH!

I call expect to see better sometimes and worse sometimes. I hate folding vs unknowns to later find out they are complete maniacs but this is a pretty tough spot.

I think checking turn is standard

You played it well now call

I don't think you can fold vs. an unknown, so call. Pot odds are very good - he only has to be bluffing or over-valuing a worse hand one time in about 3.4 for this to be profitable. Your hand is strong (only T8 or a flush beats you) so I would call and pray.

No way. I never check this turn vs an unknown unless I want to give up a free river spade. Charge his pair+FD he just picked up. River is a call vs. an unknown. Also the line seems a little weird.

this

I'd call and expect to see a pair and flush draw a lot. I know 25NL players don't turn pairs into a bluff very often, but this is a spot where they do because they know they can't check-call a shove and they don't want to fold because they're pissed off that they didn't get there, so they just shove. I've seen this a lot. Of course he has a flush sometimes too.

this is the flush 80% or more of the time at 25NL. I would fold. You played it right but i'd fold the river unless his image is very loose/bluffish

at 100nl and up you have odds to call

He's not calling the turn bet and donk shoving this without the Flush. You have shown no weakness at all. Why drop 50BB+ jsut to find out what we already know. You played it fine. It's the exact same line you would run with the nut flush draw I would hope, so expect to get paid tons later if he is bluffing here.


Fold.

I dunno how you guys fold this. He could easily be playing a lower set / 2pr like this. And given his UTG limp/call, it looks more like a set badly slowplayed than anything else IMO.

I pay the man his monies.

somehow i didn't catch we had top set. calling is fine. I don't know why he would play anything but a flush like this though. Bet more on each st.

by betting more each st. the river is trivial even if he has the flush

I honestly like folding. This is a monster line from these guys.

Betting the turn and being willing to get it in like you did is good.
