But I never fold!
 

I don't really have any reads on villian except that he's minbet a couple times, and when his minbets have been raised, he's folded. Doesn't really do anything for this hand, except I guess give us the impression that he's a donk.

id call, how much of his range is Axh?

shrug i call.

this hand sucks on so many levels.

good fold.

this is a call if he's oop and shoves into you (but still close) or if there is a raise preflop.

i go broke really light in limped pots and i think it' sbad, enerally youre going to be looking at mandatorily going broke with K high flush obv, Q high probably, J high usually, and T high occasionally, 9 high rarely

Re: But I never fold!
 

This is a call

Re: But I never fold!
 

does anyone have any reasoning for calling other than OMG A FLUSH? some of the top posters have said call, but i'd like to hear your thoughts behind it.

he was pretty much unknown to me, so your guess is as good as mine. Even if he's a donk, I think if he has a lone heart that he wants to draw to, it's gotta be a pretty big one... something like Kh or Qh, and I'm certain he would raise AK/AQ, and that was a big factor in my decision to fold

I guess if you are certain of that then fold looks fine. It just looks like he doesn't want to see another heart. I would think a lone A or like Th8h or ThJh.

Re: But I never fold!
 

I dont like raising to 150 on the flop. Its a limped pot and your flush is not the nuts, so i think your pushing out a lot of hands you beat by doing this. That being said, im probebly stacking off here on the turn if no crap cards come. As played, I think you gotta fold it.

Agreed.

Also, if we're beat, I expect to lose to better flushes and that's basically it. I think donks tend to slowplay here if they turned a boat, or perhaps bet small. But a slight overbet, eh I don't buy it.

Also we do beat a couple of reasonable flushes, although obviously most of them have us beat. But I think this is something like Ax T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] a lot of the time. Plus we're getting 3-1 etc, I think folding is a mistake, particularly because of the "donk" factor. Against a reasonable player I like a fold, but I don't make these types of folds to irrational players.

anyone think he may have the str8 and be defending against another heart??

A straight is possible. I don't think he has a boat very often since most people would bet less. A significant portion of his hands will be higher flushes, but enough of his hands make up Axh, lower flushes, and the straight that I would still call.

Really? Holy sh!t
Do you also 3-bet the flop in a limped pot?
