Show it down. You were playing for this flush, the pot is now gigantic, and you know it's not going to get any worse since the action has been capped.

i'd probably 3-bet the flop, and also would lead the river.

3bet the flop.

Turn looks good.

Lead the river.

Just grit your teeth, remind yourself that flush-over-flush is rare, and call the river cap.

You're supposed to lose a bunch of money when you run into an over-flush. Don't worry about it.

(I agree with the people who are saying to 3-bet the flop, and I would have bet the river, but you're losing a bundle on this no matter what. This kind of event is the poker equivalent of an Act Of God that you can't do anything about).

1 person could be going crazy with a ten high flush but not two. There are almost as many hearts that beat you that don't. Calling 2 twice on the river with 5th nuts is bad. Your not good here 1 time in 11.

I know this is a rough hand, but that river card completed some straights as well as the flush. It also makes some two-pair hands that admittedly shouldn't be in play but these are the micros. I honestly don't see a fold here, but maybe it's different for me because I'm betting or raising somewhere on the river.
