So pokey, would you call down if turn is T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and river is Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]? In other words, are you calling down no matter what comes to make a stand here?

If I've made a stand, I'm pretending I'm all-in -- there is no fold button on my screen. Against naked overs I'm better than 50/50 to win, and I don't trust that my opponent has overs. Even if a four-flush hits the board, there's still a less than 50/50 chance that my opponent has a flush, and if he's the sort who bets no matter what then it's still +EV to call down.

Like I said -- plug your nose and call. The board doesn't matter: you're making a stand. It's the "call the flop, call the turn, fold the river" line that makes this villain all his money -- we CANNOT fall prey to it or we'll bleed money to him all night. If you're going to fold you fold either preflop or on the flop. Once you call the flop bet you're committed.
