Fire the second torpedo captain

[drmcboy]

This is Ichty's second hand at table, he raised 3x first hand and folded to a 2k re raise. I couldn't put him on a hand that could call here (AA/set??). Pot is 3500 on river.

yup - weird play. I guess an unknown might do this with JJ-KK, Tx as well, but I agree it is an odd turn to check w/position with a hand like that.

[zook]

I'm missing something... why couldn't he have a flush here? AsJs/AsKs? Just because of the flop call? A flush is all I see calling here.

[chardrian]

I missed the flush draw completing - yes that's a definite possibility too for calling.

I like pushing the turn better than I like pushing that river.

[drmcboy]

Yeah, could be flush, I have trouble giving him the draw because I can't imagine playing it like this but maybe he did. But if I'm folding everything except the flush I'm cool wtih that.

So he doesn't get free card to complete his flush?

[drmcboy]

I assumed he was going to bet the turn, and then I was going to fold. The turn check is the reason I was able to shove river.
