nut flush vs. paired board.

[Ineedaride2]

First hand vs. villain, and he got up and left afterwards. Looks like he'd been doing pretty good so far though, according to his stack.

I should've just bet the turn, but I got stupid.

pretty easy fold....especially w/o any reads .

I doubt he is trying to steal 8 bucks by risking his whole stack on that board

[B1ight]

hero calls and laughs to the bank

[meanjean]

it's not the nut flush...and is it worth it to find out if he's bluffing....not for me

[wslee00]

it is the nut flush - just not the nuts

and to OP - try not to post UTG.

[Dan Bitel]

WOW.

don't post UTFG

raise preflop

FFS BET TURN

river..um...i dunno, flip a coin? then fold most the time

[JMills109]

Never check this turn. I would bet at LEAST $2.75-$3.00, and would prefer a PSB.

As played, fold. But isnt villain making a play like this with holdings OTHER than FH a reasonable amount of the time? I would think a FH would want to extract rather than push someone out of the pot.

j 9 spades is the nut flush. this is because it is the highest straight flush on the board. which is the highest flush. hence, j9sp is the nut flush

[zacca37]

dont post OOP in general if ever - wait for bb. raise the turn without a doubt - he saw the flush on the flop and still called. the turn keeps same flush (which villain called against) AND brought additional straight outs which hopefully he had. i guess you have to fold the river as played which is very painful ( i think). GL if u called

[fishfather]

not if they think there is a reasonable chance you have the flush.
