Is this an instant reraise? I've recently had a couple small flushes beat by bigger flushes so I'm feeling a bit tentative.

the way its played shove river

Re: 50NL - Small Flush
 

I'm curious as to way you take the check-call-lead option here having made the flush.

As played I think you have to 3-bet with the intention of getting it in. You can't be afraid of a higher flush here.

Re: 50NL - Small Flush
 

Just push the river as played - but I don't like the c/c on the turn.

Re: 50NL - Small Flush
 

Yeah the c/c on the turn is very weird. Maybe villain now has 2p+ and doesn't think you have a flush because you so cunningly disguised it.. but i think that's about the only argument for shoving here.

Actually i think the c/c on the turn perfectly disguised his hand and now he can happily shove. If your going to c/c turn that means you arent suspicious of a higher flush and must put it in on river. If u bet or c/r turn then you would be able to get away from it if he plays very strongly becuase on the flop your hand looks just like a flush draw.

Re: 50NL - Small Flush
 

The amount of times I fall for the c/c turn donk river line is sickeneing. Always seem to pay that one off. However, I think that raising the turn has more value.

I actually think he would have been betting more on the turn with a flush so I think you are ahead. This one is close though since I think only 2 pair+ calls a river shove and he would have to have A3,A4,AQ to get that

[/ QUOTE ]Are you saying this because of his flop/turn line, or should I just never be afraid of higher (2-card) flushes for under 100BB?
