No reads on players except they're pretty bad but what can I put him on here? Had a bad feeling as soon as he checkraised the turn.

No, to get away from these you need deeper stacks

waaaay deeper

Re: Nutflush vs. Straightflush, can I fold here ever? $25PLO
 

Deeper than you will ever have.

What if this action occurred on a hypothetical brick river? That is, somehow the turn got checked around and hero ends up on the river with an A hi flush in a 10 BB pot. What could a c/r'ing villain have other than a straight flush?

I think it can definitely be right to fold a nut flush against a probable straight flush, especially on the river, and even without insanely deep stacks. But this is going to come up sooo infrequently that it doesn't really matter, and the people who (incorrectly) vow never to do so aren't losing much.

disagree, assuming you have a read that your opponent plays competently.

pot 5 BB, same board. you lead for half the pot, quite a normal bet size with the nut flush. he min-raises, also a normal action with the mortal nuts. now you pot it back to him, and he re-pots. this requires only 65 BB stacks and i can't see how calling is correct against a good player.

I agree with what pete said in that its such a rare situation it hardly matters, but to futher your example crockpot, if your opponent is intelligent and knows you view him as "plays compently", your tight and make big laydowns ie nutflush with only 1 straight flush possible, isn't this an insanely good spot to bluff with any of the straight flush hearts, or really any 4 considering that your going to have a straight flush like never?
This isn't something that i've really seen, but thats not to say there are opponents and situations where it wouldn't be a profitable play. Little OT from this thread but something worth thinking about.

No. If your opponent is a huge nit and he thinks you are also a huge nit then you should bluff him a lot, but this is still pretty much the worst possible spot to pick to bluff.

How about this variation on the theme:

Let's say the hand goes to the river relatively quietly because the players are fairly deep and the straight flush guy doesn't raise. Hero with the nut flush leads on the river and striaght flush villain raises.

Under what circumstances would you consider simply calling?
