25NL 6max: nut flush, river pairs board

[fortsigma]

UTG is a 42/1 who I've played about 100 hands with. He hasn't been raising much postflop with his good hands, seems to fold to decent raises too often.

Raise the flop for sure. You have the button, you have the NFD. You woulkd like to set your price for your flush right here. At these stakes, they typically check the turn to you, and you can decide if you take a free one.

Turn is awfull. Bump it up! Make lone diamonds put in bets drawing dead, see sets go allin, see two pairs go allin. You don't give them the chance to do so. Hell, even a K will pay you sometimes. You have the best hand, raise for value sir. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'm not good at PT or anything, but against most villains I'll call this river. Trips, a K, lower flush, or even QQ/AA can play the same.

There's no reason to believe he has anything spectacular here - he's had no resistance on 3 streets so far and noone woke up when the flush draw hit. He's almost certainly betting TPTK - minbet on the flop, cautious half pot when the K and the flush hit.

It's a bit late to raise for value - you're probably not getting called by any worse hands, except maybe trip 9s. Raise flop, raise turn and call river if still bet into after that.

As played I would think it's just a call. As suggested, raise the turn especially
