Set on flop, flush gets there on the river ($27)

    Default Set on flop, flush gets there on the river ($27)

    No reads at this stage. I know I should probably have bet the flop a little harder with four opps in the hand. What's your river move? I don't think folding is an option.

    I think the flop is fine. The board is not too wet.
    The river is tough. I wouldn't fold, because I think he has 2 pair/pair/bluff more than 1 times in 3, but it seems flushy. I guess I would just call.
    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    Devoid of reads, I think a call is pretty standard here. If he has a flush, he's paid against the odds to get there, so meh.

    Also, I think the flop bet is fine - you want to get paid right?

    meh id throw a little more out on the flop simply because of the flush draw, but as played its a call but a tough one

    you're all stations

    what hands can he have that we beat that he is turning into a bluff?

    I probably fold, because I always assume there's a flush draw against me and I expect it to get there.

    But this is the BB in an unraised pot, he could have almost anything. At a $5 buy-in I would never give anyone credit for this exotic, but he could be chasing OESD with 43 and planning on bluffing the flush, thus counting eight outs for the straight and seven more bluffing outs...

    Wow, are you psychic?

    So I was right?

    Bluffing outs are problematic against hands as strong as sets...sets always make the crying call....

    I don't think I can find a fold here. With pot odds of >2:1 you don't need to be ahead all that often to turn a profit ... I call

    You hit the nail on the head, he had exactly 43o and said, "nice call" in the chat box after I called.
