This is a bluff with the A of clubs from someone who plays too much PLO.

no it's not, because nobody does that.

I mean, it could be a donk with any of a number of dumb hands, but it's never a bluff by the naked Ac by someone playing too much PLO.

Bakes, has the villian a good knowledge of your game? Have you guys tangled before to any great degree? Is there any chance that he checks this river to you because he fully expects a bet from you a high percentage of the time?

Because if you are beat he has done something VERY unorthodox in this hand. I'm confused and we have a flush on a non paired board so like the tourney donk that I am - I would call here.

I've seen this play made three times with the naked A, twice unsucessfully, once successfully, in 10K buy-in events -- 2006 USPC at the Taj (unknown player, successful), 2006 Mandalay Bay WPT (Steve Zoine, unsuccessful), 2007 Borgata WPT (unknown player, unsuccessful). I've never seen anyone play the nut flush like this, ever, nor can I come up with a reason why anyone ever would, other than being able to see Bakes' cards.

If it's not the nuts, which I refuse to believe it is, then he must feel confident he's not getting called, ergo he has the A of clubs.

Lloyd, if he expects hero to bet the river, why do you assume he is checking to him so he can Bluff CRAI?

wat do u mean "as played"

[/ QUOTE ]

i mean that neither of you has show any strength up till the river, he didn't 2 barrell his flushdraw when a good 2 barrell card hits, and he checks his high flush again on the river hoping you bet. its like he played this hand with the intention of only stacking a lower flush. On the other hand, thats a huge [censored] shove and bluffing here is weird. [censored] i dunno I probobly do fold

[/ QUOTE ]
FWIW I think not c/ring a flush on this river is really terrible. I would fold and turn isn't that great a two barreling card.
