Groan.

This is tough. He knows you don't have the flush, and there is no way he puts you on a straight. Maybe he has a set of Aces and got caught up with FPS? He could have a worse hand than you.

I'm stupid enough to call this at least to see what the F he's doing.

Call. The only hand that beats you is a flopped flush, and I can't believe he would check behind twice with the flush. I guess it depends on your read.

i'm calling.. i dont think he is playing a flush this way.

Fold baby fold. He's executing a common NL 25 cupie doll play here. Then he'll feel so clever for making so much out from his obvious flush. He may even name his first born Paul Phillips...

chicagoY · #6 03-07-2006, 07:15 PM

I'd agree with all of you but I know the NL 25 gang pretty well now and they slowplay...forever. It's never even occurred to them that sometimes the only person you deke out is yourself.

K high club flush maybe.

If he's stupid you'll get his money later anyways, be disciplined young grasshopper.

I think this is a farly easy fold. He is trying to make up for lost bets on earlier streets.

You didn't hear him praying... hit something, hit anything.

You bet 1/2 pot knowing he only raises when you're beat. He's calling with lots of hands you beat, and folding junk. If you bet earlier you can tell if he has the goods. Now you have to fold or gambooool. Better places to put your money in, imho.

Fold. Typical donky play.

Or: he's obviously not affraid of a flush. Why? Because he's got one.
