Not really. 4card flush out there with a boat. You should bet 250 on the turn though.

streetz · #3 03-15-2006, 05:34 AM

save the last $565. everything else looks fine.

captZEEbo · #4 03-15-2006, 05:42 AM

yeah mp3 definitely not shoving loan Ad on river here

Bill Ivey · #5 03-15-2006, 05:50 AM

I knew I was beat after he raised me, and at the time I felt like I had to pay him off, but looking back now, I shoulda just saved the $565 and folded.

streetz · #6 03-15-2006, 06:05 AM

i'm just blowing smoke up yo azz. 99% of the people here won't fold that [censored] in the battlefield w/ 50 bb behind. it's too pretty. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Bet the turn for sure. Other that that, I like it and go broke the same way as you did.

If you think you should fold whats the read on the villian?

If you gonna play this crap why would you fold it when you make a boat on a 4 flush board?

This hand is not crap when this many people are in the hand.

And the reason I would fold it is because (as captZEEbo said), there is no way villain is re-raising all in with the lone ace of diamonds. I have the worst full house, so I have to be beat.

This statement is meaningless, and has no actual bearing on any situation. If its a -EV call, its -EV.
