Can I call this? Wouldn't he bet less on a potential flush to make sure he gets value for it?

[TheGrifter]

I do this sometimes if I think people will call a push almost as often as a value bet.

[dirtylobster]

It's not worth it. Wait for a better spot to stack this donk.

[Gustav]

I would bet way more on the turn here. And since I bet way more on the turn, I can't fold this. Missed flushes (A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]), occasionally just a really silly bluff (naked T for example), poorly played sets, even two pair...

edit: oh and T9

[miw210]

I'd fold. I don't think you can discount the possibility of a flush just because of his overbet.

[slickss]

I bet less on the turn because I wanted him to call with most pairs.

In retrospect I should've folded. I re-raised preflop and that's a scary looking board so I don't he would bluff that hard without something. I called and he showed 10h7h for the flush - bad play by me.

Ladies and gentlemen, a textbook example of results-oriented thinking.

Seriously, you need to evaluate the hand based on his play and what you (should have) believed at the time, not what happened. All that's good for is making notes.
