Thoughts?
I was actually realy considering checking the river but the little man in my head kept saying that I had a flush and should bet so I did.

Re: I fold a flush
 

Checking the river would be bad. I think you played it well.

Re: I fold a flush
 

Yeah this is fine.

You can't semi-bluff the turn and then check when you make your hand!

Re: I fold a flush
 

i call here, i think a rando guy on party does this with a J plenty

Re: I fold a flush
 

I think we should call the river.

I was thinking this but the fact that the river pairs the board changes things. I would've had no trouble betting a non-pairing flush card or a str8 card.

Re: I fold a flush
 

dude the odds your getting you have to be like 80% sure he has you beat...


You can;t imagine a J raising 20% of the time???

I snap call this

Re: I fold a flush
 

folding this is not a good idea

Re: I fold a flush
 

PS i wish there were 1/2 as many threads in this forum asking "valuebet this?" rather than "fold this?"

Re: I fold a flush
 

If I had bet $20 on the rive, I would have to be committed to my cards (or I'd have checked). I call the $54.

Re: I fold a flush
 

i call
he probably has pocket aces

Yep, trips is the nuts and it's pretty consistent with his line. I can't fold this for 34 more.

Re: I fold a flush
 

call, but dont be too happy about it

Re: I fold a flush
 

folding is so weak it's ridiculous

Re: I fold a flush
 

there's already $108.00 in the pot and its $34.00 more to call. You're getting 3:1 to call...i dont think a set or two pair that filled up on the river would play the flop and turn that way. Also, another flush is less likely (yes it does happen...but) because you hold one. I think this is trip jacks and worth a call.

Re: I fold a flush
 

Why would anyone consider folding given the action? 3-1 odds I expect to see a J here around 30% of the time. I call.
