Sorry... No read on villain. They always seem to find me (or I find them) on their first couple orbits.

Seems fine, folding sucks, push sucks(even though he has very little left). With a smaller flush it's alot closer.

I think you played the hand well. At what point in the hand did doubts arise how to proceed? Why did you feel urged to past this hand?

[jmgambler]

Yea, from an Sb completion, I have to call here too......... though of late I have been wlaking into flush over flushes with some frequency (On 3 suited boards too)

[Manchild84]

I guess I was wondering if I just check the river... I made my hand pretty transparent, so there's not too many hands that I beat that call... maybe A2 or something, but am I still ahead of a c/r'ing hand enough to call here? It's $10 to win $27... I guess a read would of made a big difference here.

[CesareBorgia]

Your opponent could have an aces-high flush or perhaps a full house. I would pay him off. I think there are a lot of opponents who would play this way with trips or a lower flush.

[Isura]

Not betting the river would be very bad. This line is fine, but I would bet more on the turn.

Your hand is never that transparent in blind battles as you think, don't be too paranoid. Villain can have you on a 7 weak kicker often enough to c/r the river. Like Isura said, pot the turn and call the c/r. Rest is variance.
