Default Re: The poker gods giveth and they taketh away

Its not pretty, but I'm calling here.

Reasons to fold:
1 - flush got there
2 - boat got there

Reasons to call:
1 - we have the As so villain is a little less likely to be chasing a flush here with the betting we've done.
2 - if he boated, he did it with JT or QT because he would have popped us earlier with a set given that scary board.
3 - villain could easily float AT on the flop, picked up a pair on the turn, and think his trips are good on the river
4 - we're getting > 2:1 on our call here, which isn't great, but the list of hands that villain reasonably has that beat us is fairly short.

I'm calling this bet.
