yuck...so sucky...but i think im going to call here to look him up and to defend my hand...could easily be 108 etc...

Flop and turn look fine if you think villain might have the As, Ks, or Qs. The river fold is questionable, but I think villain is check/raising you on the turn if he boated up with a set.

[Hank Scorpio]

Fold on river is terrible. Villian can be check raising here with trips (I've seen it before). Plus, if villian has a boat, don't you think he's going to to raising AI here?

Hero Calls......... Op could have been waiting to make sure a [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] didnt hit with his AT/QT

Standard NL50 donk play is to flatcall/check behind/etc on the turn when you hit your draw then come to life on the river. I had enough hands with villain that I felt he wouldn't c/r the river with anything less than a small flush more than 10-15% of the time. I agree that it could be a bare T but from this villain that was very unlikely.

I understand where you are coming from with the made draw theory, but this is moreso with flush and straights. If you are showing aggression on this kind of a board, villain would likely raise the turn here. Even if we assume our villain is a thinking player and that he is smooth calling the turn, we'd then assume he would be smart enough to value bet the river.

[KEW]

Non nut flush on a paired board facing river C/R = FOLD ...

After all the aggression you have shown I do not see villain bluffing the river with ONLY trips...If I had to go out on a limp I would say villain held precisely KT with the K of spades..

[SuperUberBob]

Villain definitely plays a set way more aggressively on three flush flop.

He might have a higher flush here. Check/call on the turn looks more like he's scared of it rather than trapping you. But keep in mind you're getting around 3:1 on your money to call the raise. I can't fold for that.
