25 NL-King High Flush Draw on Monotone Flop

[Buckeye81]

Villian in running 24/17/1...no specific reads

What line should I take here? I didn't want to smooth call because I am stuck OOP in a decent sized pot when I miss, and a fourth diamond might kill my action if opponent isn't on the flush when I hit. Reraising his flop 3bet felt mehhh. Any input and advice is appreciated. Thanks

I would fold. All your potential outs suck.

[ajmargarine]

Yup, I think I fold this too. And bet nearer to pot on the flop. $1.50 minimum.

He would have to be an extreme fish for this call to be profitable. A fourth heart on the board will just kill action from any potential worse flushes, so your implied odds for hitting the flush suck.

you´re getting about 3-1 if you had the Ad call but you might end stacking yourself with the 2nd nuts if you hit

[Kvetchie]

I'd put him on Ad, could be even AXd, easy fold for me. Though there's the possibility for him to just scare fourflushes away after flopping top pair or even a set but scary board and reraise is enough for a fold, get his money later.

I folded the hand fairly quickly...just wanted to make sure that I wasn't playing too weakly...thanks again for the advice

Re-raise to $10. Unless he's a complete donk he sees the board is scary and puts you on exactly the type of hand you have.

He could be holding as little as a pair, but is more than likely on the same thing you are - a decent diamond draw. I see a re-raise here pushing him off a bluff or a draw often enough to be profitable.
