[NLStudent]

No reads on Villain, i have been at this table for only 1 orbit or so
Does his min raise allow him to represent the flush ?

From what I have seen giant river bets are either the nuts or desperation bluffs. I know many villain that do this with complete air on any 3flush board in an attempt to represent the flush.

However turn min-check raises usually mean uber strength and
there are still way more villains tough that will do this with better flushes, Id fold it.

Tough. He's likely to have a flush.. disgusting.. never the less a fold.

Hmmm .. I'd snapcall here, pot is laying 2-1, so you only have to win 1 in 3 here ... and I feel you'll be shown either a bluff or a flush smaller than your T high flush often enough.

That is off course a valid course to take as well [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This is def not a clear cut fold IMO... There's three possible flushes that beat u, heaps u beat... Would he'd play this differently with 89 of diamonds? I actually think I wud have a difficult time laying this against a random at these stakes, they overvalue there hands way to often... Most unknowns wont bet this big with a flush on the river either imo... And turn minraises always being strength is bs! I'll call

[Gullanian]

Call every single time. Infact I go all in here. You have a decent hand cash it in. You're not beaten her too often. He might even be slowplaying a set or something stupid.

I know we are not supposed to post results, but I find it interesting to tell you what happend this time.

I thought : the only hand that beats me is a higher flush, if he had it, maybe would he value bet it without betting so much, but I really didn't give him credit for having in mind "that other dude might have a flush as well, I'm going to move all in to stack him if that's the case"
Considering the odds, the likeliness of a lesser flush OR some 2pair/set/67straight OR bluff, I called after emptying my time bank.

He showed 10c 9h for a busted gutshot draw (!!!!!!!). ..
