    Default BB special: backdoor flush on a paired board

    Two questions: is it just silly to try to draw on a paired board?
    And do you raise the river like I did, or just call his smallish bet keeping to pot small?

    A lot of people in these turbos like to limp good hands from EP. This villain is running 19/10 after 31 hands, with EP limp of 13.

    turn is fine, your getting 9/1.

    on the river i would bet/fold or check/call in most cases.

    as played your small c/r doesn't seem that bad given how small the bet is. fold to the last raise and laugh at how terrible his t400 river bet was.

    I lead river, aces may check behind but will call for sure. Plus you're 'in position' to see what every one does from there, if it goes raise raise you can feel better about folding

    I disagree with juan, I would call river as played, I can see UTG playing any ten like this and we're getting 3/1. He could even have lower clubs, hopefully not 54.

    Think I'd just call, but I'd be annoyed he only bet 400, I'd want more in. I think, generally, it's a bad idea to draw on a flush on a paired board, but the turn bet was so small, you're massively priced in. I suspect he has our flush beat, something in me just keeps saying deuces, I guess that's why I'd flat his stupid river bet and laugh at him if he had us beat.

    I think folding here would have been silly, for the reasons drmcboy said: he'd play a lot of hands we beat like this, any T, AK, 78 etc.. but now when I look at it I think best would have been just to call the small river bet.

    Should've said this is from a 45-man turbo, and my stack is healthy here.

    I'd definitely lead the river for like 800 expecting a call or two, and I wouldnt fold to a raise because fish like to check and slow play a ten on the flop. I'm guessing the guy turned up AA or something sick.
