weird semi-common river situation

[pete fabrizio]

Say I have a good hand like a set or a straight and the river brings a flush, but I have the bare Ace. I have been the aggressor. I decide to value-bet/bluff, but get raised all-in. There are no straight flushes possible. Is there any way I can call? What if I check-raised the river and he 3-bet me all-in?

If the standard play is to fold, what kind of conditions would you need to call? A very tricky player? A very good player? A very bad player?

Against players tricky enough and aggressive enough to justify making this call I'd say a check-call would have been a better option most of the time. Against tight & fairly predicatable opponents you could call if you know that they would just call non nut flushes, but you have to know your player well to do this.

The other day I tried to bluff a runner-runner river flush holding the bare ace, making a bet of about two thirds of the pot. My lone opponent re-potted it. I folded. He showed just a pair of sixes - and I had more than that! So tricky players can re-bluff here...

instacall/raise allin if deep enough next time someone does that play. Noone but the most rare species of omaha players will repot it without the nutflush here..
