easy fold but if you must continue, call. why do you raise? as a bluff?

The reason to consider a raise is if he's on a diamond draw.

Yeah but his range consists of too many better hands then yours to outway charging him here for his possible draw.

The only reason I can find a fold is if I were up against a very good thinking player who is capable of representing the numerous amounts of scare cards that can come off the river. To an observant opponent, your turn call here really defines your hand (TPTK/overpair) and can be taken advantage of on the river.

Again though, this is very player dependent and as a default against typical monkeys I call.

what do you consider his range to be? i find this line to be really annoying to play against as i'm never confident in assigning my opponent a range (as i said, online, i put a draw as a big part of the range when i see this line).

I would think his range would include diamond draw, worse jack, JT for 2 pair, 98s or a set, with an outside chance of overpair or even garbage trying to bully me off the hand.

I wrote what I believed his range might be in my previous post. Raising only seemed reasonable to charge a diamond draw. Given my position + the significant possibility that I was up against a worse hand (draw or KJ/QJ/J9s) I decided to call the turn making the pot $1090.

The river was a small diamond completing the flush draw. He thought for a short time and then mad a small bet of $400. Now what? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Why? I don't think he'd fold any flush here. It would put him to a tough decision w/a set though.
