I don't understand? Nobody to act behind you and with the nuts, why would you not raise the river?

I'd probably raise about 450 more, so 550 total. His river bet seems weak, but you might get paid off. I don't think you would get called for much more.

It's not the nuts. 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] cards beat him.

I'm a wuss, but I just call or micro raise. I really don't want to be in the position of him shoving at me.

And, geez, with 7000 games under your belt, I'm amazed you're still posting [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. I swear, you were at every table I was last night and sucked on me twice to kill/cripple me on the bubble...

there are two 4 straight flush spades that beat him, folks.

and id raise the river, the way the hand played out this can be a really weak value bet with the K or Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or simply a cheap bluff on a dangerous board a lot of the time IMO. I think he calls a raise enough times that flat calling on the end loses some value but raising big isnt worth it.

make a small raise, fold to jam. he's not going to 3-bet you without the straight flush, but will pay you off with a ton of smaller flushes.

Ah....my bad. Can't believe I didn't see the SF out there.

I'd probably still raise the river for value. Seems like you have him beat. I wouldn't raise a lot though. Fold to a 3-bet.

I don't know how the typical unknown in a $78 plays, but you should pretty much be able to rule out the 6s. The only way I could see him having the 6s here is if he has pocket 6's and he sure played the flop strange if he has that hand.

I guess he could have pocket J's or a poorly played AJ with the Js but his UTG limp doesn't make too much sense with either hand.

Maybe KJs is the only hand that makes sense on all streets. [Edit: QJs as well]

In any case if I have an Ace high flush on an unpaired board against an unknown I'm trying to get all the chips in. I would raise to 600 and call a shove.
