The SB's play reeks of a flush draw. If he is indeed TAG, there are very few hands he calls two cold with.

That said, you're getting 15-1 on your river call, and especially with MP2 folding, I would lose sleep over folding this.

I call this down.

I call here too and as much as I hate it, I think we have too. The pot is just to big to fold even though it looks like we are beat.

You play the hand fine, and there is just not much you can do when that spade falls and he donks into you, and I think we have to pay it off though.

is the turn raise standard? what are we putting mp2 here, a weak K

[shark6]

It sure does look like he's go the flush. But, I'd still pay him off. He could be doing a bet/fold scare card line with AK KQ or KJ.

SB takes a pretty weird line. What's with the flop threebet and then checking the turn blank? If he's got a big king doesn't he bet the turn, or is he expecting a bet to come from Hero in the hopes of facing MP with two cold? If he doesn't have a big king does he threebet the flop? I don't know how to put numbers on this, but I'd really like to. 16:1 on the river, closing the action, I'm pretty sure I call expecting to see the flush a lot.

I think we have to raise the turn if we don't cap the flop here. I would have capped the flop, though.

Call the river, the hands looks good.

The pot odds alone justify a call when you have played such a strong hand all the way through. A pro could not have done anything more to win this hand.
