7 high flush

[DickieBets]

I'm just looking for input on how I played this flush. I think I played to the river fine - right ? suggestions welcome .

I was particularly wondering what to do on the river to maximize my EV. There is a small chance I'm up against a larger flush - but I'm usually not worried about that. I'm more concerned about betting the maximum to get called but not be raised off of it or have the opponent fold.

Value bet. 1/2 pot.

Whether or not I call a raise is very player dependant. I'd call a shove most of the time as people at this limit will often enough go crazy with their slowplayed set/2pair/straight and not notice the tone of the board.

Bet like 4 and call a push. CO is short and you cant fold this whatever happens.

Get your money in.

Villain is short, you bet the flop because you thought you were the only one with a flush draw, so now that you hit gogogo.

Should not be betting this flop, what are you repping here? If you bet flop, pot it. Now do what orange said.

Well for one thing he's building a pot for if he hits his flush, and he's also disguising his hand as if the flush draw hits it's difficult for people to put him on the flush as he bet the flop. And of course you have a chance to take the pot down there and then. Pretty standard imo
