I Flop a straight on montone board. River decision? (200NL 6max)
 

Villain is a total unknown. I have no datamined stats on him, so he is not a regular. This is only the 3rd hand at the table.

Do I call this? He could have the flush obviously, but he could also have a busted draw (High heart plus a pair maybe?), two pair, etc...

bet more on flop. call river

I don't see any logic for a fold here. If he as the flush, type in 'nh'. I think in the long run a call here is +EV, you will see a flush &lt; you will see busted draw, two pair, set, etc.

Ok, thanks. That is what I was thinking.

BTW, f*kcer had K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I need to start playing all my suited hands. They flop flushes all the time, right?
