    Wet-DreaMer: Ah 9s
    Chofu: -- --
    outlaw49: -- --
    PokerCat22: -- --
    BigJustin84: -- --

    Pre-flop:

    Chofu folds. outlaw49 calls. PokerCat22 folds.
    BigJustin84 folds. BillyTheeKid folds. shiba005
    calls. Wet-DreaMer checks.

    Flop (board: Kh 7h 3h):

    shiba005 bets 90. Wet-DreaMer calls. outlaw49
    folds.

    Turn (board: Kh 7h 3h 7c):

    shiba005 checks. Wet-DreaMer checks.

    River (board: Kh 7h 3h 7c 4h):

    shiba005 bets 185. Wet-DreaMer raises to 450.
    shiba005 goes all-in for 1255.


    Strong bet out on the flop = K-face, 2 pair, or a Q high flush draw semibluff. He is scared of those hearts.

    Turn comes and gives him the boat, he no longer fears the flush; in fact he is desperately hoping I make it so he checks.

    River comes the flush just as he wanted, now he can value bet so throws out 185 chips.

    I put him on 37 or K7 for sure.
    And yet; I couldnt just fold it. In fact I couldnt even call it. Am I crazy or correct here for the $5 SnG level?

    I'm going broke here...

    When the board pairs like that, you consider the possibility of a full boat, but you can't live in fear of it. Until the board double pairs I'm assuming my nut flush is ahead.

    if you trust your analysis, why not just call the river?

    yeah, in this uneasy situation where you sense something is up, I don't see how you can not just call the river.
