wow, seems like TT... maybe AJ, id probably raise in the heat of the battle, but thinking about it with the chance of an overall and the chance taht you might be losing and probably not folding to a three bet that calling might be the best option.

Re: 10/20:River nut flush,villain leads out and I just call on paired
 

I like this play because at 10/20 you get a lot of overcalls in this size pot for 1 bet - especially because straights and flushed came in on the river. So you are still looking to get an extra bet with your call without risking losing an extra bet or two (if you wouldn't fold to a 3-bet).

I believe you are ahead here of the BB because ordinarily with a full house I would expect him to check raise a good percentage of the time (if not the majority) hoping to get the SB in for two bets as well.

I know this wasn't really your question, but I would have raised the flop, would anyone else?

yeah standard free card play. Not showing down UI.

I like going for the overcall on river

Re: 10/20:River nut flush,villain leads out and I just call on paired
 

Yes - as played, I like going for the river overcall.

I disagree with everyone on the flop and the river.

On the flop, there was a bet-out and a call. I'd be wary of one of them having a queen. Plus you just calling might leave them unsuspecting that you have a flush draw.

On the river, I don't see why people think SB will overcall. He checked the turn and just called, so he doesn't have a Q and he is unlikely to have a K. Now a 3rd diamond comes and he checks again. If he didn't like his hand very much on the turn, he surely can't like it very much now.

BB checked and called twice; that sure doesn't look like a Q to me. Now he bets out on the river. His hand thus most likely improved on the river; unless it's pocket tens, hero has him beat and thus a raise is called for.

This is exactly my thoughts when reading the OP. SB's bet out on the flop looks too much like a Q and I really don't want to have to pay 3 bets to see the turn when we can see it for one.

On the river, if SB is bad enough to overcall here with a weak hand, then he might just be bad enough to call 2 cold (but he isn't likely to call either way).

It's hard to put BB on a hand, but I think that his play looks like AJ as much as it looks like TT, and there's 6 combos of AJ and 3 combos of TT out there. If he always 3-bets with TT and we always have to call, then the raise is break-even. I think there are enough 2 pair and other stupid hands for him to have occasionally that raising is still best in the long run.

TT would probably raise on the flop

This is dead-on and I think you get 3-bet by AJ/worse flush about as often as SB overcalls too.

Re: 10/20:River nut flush,villain leads out and I just call on paired
 

BB had TT for full house.

I probably should have included some reads/notes/previous hand experience.

SB donks a lot of hands on flop when he has a piece of it. Flush draw, weak pair, one pair, two pair, set. He even goes for turn check raises after donking flop sometimes.

SB also pays off a lot of hands on river after lots of action when pot is medium-big. Bottom pair, mid pair, A high.

Given that knowledge, I thought he would overcall in a spot like that.

I didn't see SB's hands, but I'm assuming A4s, I think he would have 3-bet with a pocket pair preflop.

Forgetting about the results for a moment - how can BB have AJ? Unless he is truly awful he likely wouldn't 3-bet from BB, he wouldn't call the flop after the cap and cold call of 2 bets pre-flop by SB, and he wouldn't call the turn... Unless it is specifically AJ of spades.

Also, assuming he is semi-retarded, he could then have KQs and KK as well as TT.

I am very wary of a river donk (even a turn donk) in 10/20 with a board that just made straights and flushes when there was a full house possibility all along. When I ignore this instinct I usually lose the extra 2 bets instead of making 1.

Re: 10/20:River nut flush,villain leads out and I just call on paired
 

Andy is correct. You have to raise this river. Andy is also correct about not raising the flop.

Re: 10/20:River nut flush,villain leads out and I just call on paired
 

call flop, raise river against most players. Given your read of SB it's worth considering the smooth call.

Despite the results, I think the BB has AJ here as much as TT. He can't really have a smaller flush unless he threebet two players with J9 of diamonds... very unlikely.
