Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)
I, too, think that folding the flush was really bad.
Gold has either:
A. The nut flush (QsXs)
B. A "baby" to mid-range flush
C. Straight
He doesn't have a set/2 pair here ever. And he never has JsXs either as well, cause Jamie loves pair+fd and would have bet the flop with those.
Honestly, I don't know what I would have done if I was Doyle. I definitely wouldn't have folded the turn. I don't know how good Jamie is at making laydowns, but if he's terrible at it, I'd shove the turn and get snap-called by all flushes.
Another way to play it is call, and then call Jamie's 150-200k on river (fold if he pushes all-in, because this is the only play I'd think he'd make if he had the nut flush).
