River a flush but get checkraised

[z32fanatic]

I'm new to NL cash, just curious if there is really any value in shoving here. He caught me bluffing about 30 min before on this same table when I had raised his completion. I'm pretty sure I'm ahead on the river, but I don't think he even has anything he could call with. If a straight had gotten there then I would gladly shove as I could put him on something he could call with. Villain is Bobkill.

Shoving here is pretty bad, villian almost always has a flush. Just call.

Easy push imo. You hit your back door flush draw.

I really think he is leading a flush here on river, like ^ said its backdoor push.

If this is true which it is not it still is a shove.

pretty standard push imo because either one of 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]/6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]/8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]10[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] are all too possible. way more likely he has one of these hands than 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]X[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] where x=a/k.

Why would villian call a reraise flop with a backdoor flush draw

Ye shove it, it's more likely he got a lower flush then the two higher ones.. and it's always hard for him to lay down a flush no matter what - if it's a good looking board like this one.

I'd call. I think villain is bluffing, or has 2-pair, like Q9, or has a flush. If he has a flush, it is quite possibly higher than yours.

If he has any kind of non-flush hand, then he probably folds if you push. Lower flushes might call or might fold - if they're really low. All higher flushes call.

So, I think calling is best. You get no more from the non-flush hands. You save your stack vs higher flushes. You only give up potential money from Tc8c and lower flushes. His big check raise is representing a big flush, so call and see if it really is a big flush or not.

3-bet. Overpair improved to a rivered set maybe?
