But I never fold!

[obiedman]

I don't really have any reads on villian except that he's minbet a couple times, and when his minbets have been raised, he's folded. Doesn't really do anything for this hand, except I guess give us the impression that he's a donk.

Agreed.

Also, if we're beat, I expect to lose to better flushes and that's basically it. I think donks tend to slowplay here if they turned a boat, or perhaps bet small. But a slight overbet, eh I don't buy it.

Also we do beat a couple of reasonable flushes, although obviously most of them have us beat. But I think this is something like Ax T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] a lot of the time. Plus we're getting 3-1 etc, I think folding is a mistake, particularly because of the "donk" factor. Against a reasonable player I like a fold, but I don't make these types of folds to irrational players.

anyone think he may have the str8 and be defending against another heart??

A straight is possible. I don't think he has a boat very often since most people would bet less. A significant portion of his hands will be higher flushes, but enough of his hands make up Axh, lower flushes, and the straight that I would still call.

Really? Holy sh!t
Do you also 3-bet the flop in a limped pot?

[Ship Ship McGipp]

this hand sucks on so many levels.

good fold.

this is a call if he's oop and shoves into you (but still close) or if there is a raise preflop.

i go broke really light in limped pots and i think it' sbad, enerally youre going to be looking at mandatorily going broke with K high flush obv, Q high probably, J high usually, and T high occasionally, 9 high rarely

[craig1120]

This is a call

[obiedman]

does anyone have any reasoning for calling other than OMG A FLUSH? some of the top posters have said call, but i'd like to hear your thoughts behind it.
