UTG probably isn't doing this without a big hand. The question is whether it's a made flush or something like TT, JdTx, T9, or AA with the diamond that wanted a raise PF.

Is an unknown .05/.10's donk-shove range wide enough to call in an unraised pot, or do you just let it go?

Call and make a note. This is very read dependent. Some players will ONLY do this with a flush, and others will do so with anything, even air.

Outside a specific read, you're ahead. Single diamond in hand is a big part, as are Two pair, Top Pair, stupid end of straight, plus made flush.

You're ahead more than %50 against a random player this level, so call.

If he has the made flush, make sure you note it in player notes.

Alright. Thanks.

I ended up calling and did make a note when he turned over like Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.

I guess the reason I asked is because earlier today I flopped top set on a mono board and got it in against a made flush. I thought maybe I was overplaying my "big" hands on mono flops and wanted to make sure this call was ok.

Does a suited flop ever count as a monotone board?
