Re: arrrgh, river flush but not sure if villian has better flush
 

Do we have reads that neither one of them knows how to read a board? Even donkey's have hands now and then, and when it's 2 back to me it's time to consider that YHING.

I don't understand why you would 3-bet the flop. Could someone please explain?

Re: arrrgh, river flush but not sure if villian has better flush
 

raise preflop you have equity against 5 this is the almost perfect big pot hand to hold.

flop reraise and cap if necessary.

Turn bet/call

River lead/3 bet don't cap and call 2.

Lose a lot or win a lot, I take it by the standard nature of posters you lost.

Oh well.

because there are multiple opponents willing to call and we are going to hit our flush and win. hopefully others will elaborate.

Re: arrrgh, river flush but not sure if villian has better flush
 

You have 6 players putting money into the pot so you are getting 5:1 on your moeny and you are a less than 2:1 to hit your flush by the river, given that your flush will win. You could adjust your outs from 9 to 8 for flush over flush and still have equity to raise. At 7 outs your best action is to call.

Please correct me if my understanding is off.

Alright, cool. I understand value betting and I guess I just didn't know my odds were that good preflop. On the flop I usually use my odds of making the hand on the next card for my value betting, but apparently this is incorrect. (I need to finish reading ToP so I can read SSH).

I don't like 3 betting the flop OOP w/ the 4th nut FD and MP2 looking like a FD also, with K or A of trump I would do it. I would bet the river here, having it checked thru would suck. Once I bet the river I call one and hope I could fold for two.

Re: arrrgh, river flush but not sure if villian has better flush
 

The reason to re-raise this flop is because of equity. You are putting in 25% of the money with four people (1/4). You will hit your flush ~35% of the time. So for every bet that goes into the pot with 4 people you make money. I raise this up everytime it is very much +EV.

Re: arrrgh, river flush but not sure if villian has better flush
 

i don't hate not 3betting the flop for a couple of factors; as played i'd 3bet the river and fold to a cap.

O RLY? MP2 Cold calling 2 bets on the flop makes you think he has a bigger flush? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

This is why you should not post results to a hand.
