    Downswinging holla!
    Hmm, tough one. You're not commited so folding is a reasonable play. If he has the bare Ah which wouldn't surprise me, then you call. You do have a lot of outs though .. I dunno. Very tough hand. I assume you folded, correct?

    I call. He played it a little fast compared to most players with a flopped flsuh. Its either a bare Ah or its a baby flush or smaller set/2pair that doesn't want to see any more hearts. If you're up against the flush just hope the board pairs.

    He who sleeps well cannot sin.
    He who does not sin goes to Heaven.

    Forced folding by VKA scares me.. haha.. I call because this is too aggressive for a flopped flush. I see Ah making this play all the time and if he does have the flush, hope for you hitting one of 10 outs to a boat
    Dealer: bencathers has two pair, Aces and Deuces
    Dealer: Tbags has two pair, Kings and Jacks
    Dealer: Tbags finished the tournament in 256th place

    this is a tough one, for sure you have outs and you may have the best hand.

    Rest of the hand:

    twosevoff calls [$47.83].
    ** Dealing River ** [ 3h ]
    twosevoff shows [ Qd, Qs ] three of a kind, queens.
    combsdl shows [ 4s, 6c ] a straight, three to seven.
    combsdl wins $128.66 from the main pot with a straight, three to seven.
    lmao
    sorry

    Would you have pushed the flop in this hand? I didn't because I didn't want to take the lead away from him if he was bluffing or semibluffing and was wary of a made flush. By pushing though I get a set/two pair to go broke with me where it probably wouldn't put more money in the pot if a heart comes, avoid letting him draw out if he just has a single heart (or the garbage draw he actually had), and even if he has the made flush I still have a good chance of drawing to a boat and might as well get my money in with two cards to come rather than one. In retrospect, I think pushing is the better play.

    before i saw your reply this is what i was gonna say and am going to stick to. If he had a flush it wasn't a high one or else he'd be playing it slower. considering the preflop raise put him call.

    I push after he raises any day. I'm not sure if it applies, but I believe there's some folding equity here... If called, you've got quite a few outs to draw your boat against a flopped flush.
