Nut flush, non-paired board...and I puke myself.

Villian in this hand was a 44/17 donk but had been winning, more by getting lucky than anything.

Thoughts on the hand:

1) Bet the turn. I know this. If you feel the need to state the obvious, please do so.

2) Can this be a fold *ever* here? Yeah he's a donk, but even donks don't make plays like this, like ever, without a straight flush here. Call or raise hoping it was a misclick, or fold?


EDIT: Notice the K is out there on the board for all to see...

i fold, nothing invested and i just dont see what he pushes here.

[gabe]

g1u: wow what a hand
g1u: at least he didnt put you allin!
GeoWal21: so is that a fold like every time
g1u: i think checking the turn is fine, btw
g1u: i would call
g1u: maybe if it was like 3456
g1u: but he has to have the gut sf

[Thee One]

Turn check is fine, call the river.

He's making a play, a bad one at that. He likely has a 10 or higher diamond or two and thinks you had AK. Donks love to think we have AK. He missed the C/R on the turn and min-raised the flop looking to get some more in. He sees the river as his last chance and isn't putting you on the A. He probably has something like QTs.

If he has the 4, well...nh. But I'm not folding here, it's just one of those hands I pay off and hope to make back later.

[Harry]

I'm not folding.

[bode]

i dont think i could fold this either.

[zook]

Bet the... oh. I'm not folding here, but I'm wondering if it's worth pushing over.

[jackvance]

I called something like this once and he had the obv straight flush.

[mrhappy333]

maybe he had the quuen and thought he was good?

[bigspenda73]

the Q never ever bets like this. He has to have 8d9d or air

[jackvance]

the Q never ever bets like this. He has to have 8d9d or air

more like 4d..

[Galapogos]

I call it because fuck you and your push donkey! He's an idiot who thinks he is pushing you off a shared hand in most cases. I don't give that much credit to 100NL players.

[IowaSkinsFan]

You need to win here about 50% of the time. I really don't think you are. I'm never going to assume a huge overbet push is a bluff more than 20% of the time, if that.

[UG]

I knew he didn't have 8 9 because he definitely would have raised preflop...and I couldn't really put him on a range that said he couldn't have the 4 , because it was SB vs. BB.

This was "one of those hands" where I knew I was beat but talked myself into a call, because frick, I've got the nut flush and that is the nuts!

And on second thought, not betting the turn was okay. I was being results oriented. Most of the time checking there will get me a little more money. And that's what it's all about.

In this case, it cost me more, as villian had 4 2 .

[IowaSkinsFan]

I thought he had 84s

^^ you have the nuts, of course you're not folding

[jackvance]

Yeah wtf, there is not even a straight flush possibility there

[Numbr2intheWorld]

^^ you have the nuts, of course you're not folding

guy pushes Q high flush...

[Lukie]

this might be one of the worst turn checks in history

[gabe]

lol, no checking turn isn't bad at all.

[elipsesjeff]

lol, no checking turn isn't bad at all.

I agree, if you can get a smidge of value from the Queen from a turn check its not bad

[apunisher]

I'd never fold here, here is one reason why.

Are you serious...I think i might find a fold here 75% of the time and make a crying call the other 25%.
