Pretty standard for me against someone that passive. Sucks when he has AJ though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

This isn't easy for me anyway. Couldn't this easily be AJ/A7/QJ from a 67/15 donk?

Also when they push like this quickly when the flush hits I get suspicious. First, would this type of dude really push here with a flush? Second, usually a 67/15 will pause for a moment when his flush hits, as the "oh my god, I hit my flush!" penetrates his thick skull.

But anyway, to me it's close. Getting 2:1 I probably talk myself into a call here. I am calling too much lately though.

ugh, I probably fold but I think its VERY close. And its not close between flush and two pair. Its between air and flush.

agreed, i used to play hold em with some omaha enthusiasts who loved doing XXXX like this... i don't think that's as easy of a fold as some people are saying, oh well, still probably the right move... this is a real good example of why i'd much rather play NL live, you'd have a much better idea whether he was just messing around if you could look at his face...

had a hand pretty similar to this a while ago in a live game where i folded two pair: posted the BB from mid position and got 89, flop comes down 289, i bet, turn is a Q, i bet, and then river is a 10, I check and my opponent quickly pushes for about 1.5 times the pot... i look at him square in the face and know that he somehow stuck around with a jack, i fold face up, and his face turns white... he said he had AQ and thought i was just messing around (I'm known as a pretty aggressive player) but i later found out he had QJ, it stings makin plays like this but sometimes that's what you gotta do

so what hand are you putting the other guy on exactly? he can't know that hero has a huge hand, so is he just gambling on the fact that hero has a hand big enough to call an all in when there is an obvious flush on board? obviously if he has a flush he wants a call from any two pair and any ace, so why wouldn't he just value bet if he actually had it? if the guy is a good player he's going to realize that a $120-$150 value bet will be called enough times to have a much higher +E.V. then the few times he gets an all-in call for a little under twice the same value bet... i do have a couple ideas about why he might've made the all in bet WITH THE FLUSH, but i'm curious to hear your ideas on the matter
