Gigabet river play

[EverettKings]

Is there a reason Giga is playing a $22 sit n go (those 180 man sngs are $22 right)? Either he's trying for the TLB or letting someone else play his account or something. Or he went bust. Which would be funny.


Seriously though on the river you really can't raise with out being committed to calling a reraise. The chance of this guy not believing you or liking a hand short of a flush is high enough to make me call in this spot.

Though this is a flop where I like a semibluff raise. Folding to a 3-bet isn't the end of the world, and you can probably take a classic free card on the turn if you brick, and this guy will have a hard time calling the flop raise without a big hand, which is pretty unlikely, etc etc.

Curious why you say that. That was the first thing I noticed here. If I'm coming first in from the CO, I'm raising 95% of the time. Anybody want to explain the reasoning here?

Villain's line is a very common flushdraw/turned flush line. This hand plays easier with reads obviously because you know who is the type to overplay their hands. And if this person is one of them then I'd value raise. Against good players I think calling is correct.
