bozlax,

No one has ever folded a 2 card flush on an unpaired board in the history of limit holdem.

Not true, goof...I have. On a hand similar to this, I had 43s in the BB against a decent player (one that would know how to pump a strong draw on the flop), and folded to his turn raise.

As I said, I think the right action is folding, but if Hero isn't going to do that his best chance to win the pot is raising. I think it came out of HEPFAP (I'm too tired to look up the ref), but the gist is that sometimes Hero's best chance of winning is by playing unreasonably (based on his hand) against a reasonable opponent, and Hero's read seems to indicate that Villan is reasonable, albeit weird.

Edit: oh, and she's sure as hell not folding if Hero doesn't raise, and I'm not feeling too sanguine about calling down with TPMK.
