1. don't draw to a str8 or flush on a paired board
2. call

[Angrymoog]

Your drawing on the paired board is just fine, so long as you realize you cant get too crazy with your flush when you hit.

I would just call here.

[BromfieldWizard]

Just calling the river seems weak to me, at micro stakes isn't there a lot of value to be had by raising here? There are multiple worse hands that would call and the odds of someone having a full-house or an A-high flush, while not miniscule, are likewise not massive.

[Bantam222]

Is raising the flop or turn terrible? BB shows weakness by betting the same amount of the flop and turn even though it is a larger pot..

I might push the river, there aren't many hands that the BB calls your raise with that can beat you, you are mostly afraid of pocket pairs hitting and the betting of the BB doesn't seem like a monster...I would be most afraid of the ace high flush

[Semillon]

A half decent player wont call a raise on the river without a strong flush or a full house, so call.

10NL players aren't half-decent on average.

I min raise the river for value. Looks like a blocking bet to me.

[Angrymoog]

I find many many players at 10NL shut down on any board where youve been calling their bets all along and a third suited card falls.

Doesnt mean i cant be convinced theres value for a river raise.

That`s why I would only make a small reraise for value, so they sort of have to make a crying call with a worse hand.
