push? you have the second nuts....

I like a call, smells like nuts to me.

i call here. if you move in you probably will not be called by a weaker holding and since that will not make more money, just lose more.
although he might have A10 for the straight but you cant be sure.

I don't think I understand how this can ever be a call. You have the second nuts in a hand where villain can easily a lower flush, set, or 2 pair and you don't want to put more money in?

I like the push here aswell, lots of worse hands will call you like sets, 2pair, AJ..

Turn is close - may fold theres sometimes

DONT push the river

The best decision here should be to fold, the second one is to call. And yeah DONT push here.

definitely smells like nut flush. it takes a real hand to reraise a river check-raiser like yourself

Agree with all that call, pot is big enough for j8 sooted and its full tilt tag land lol

Interseting spot on the river I've thought about a bit recently with near nut hands- though mainly vs decentish villans and/or deep.

Turn I bet sometimes with gtshot+bdoor fdraw but mainly to steal, though 3way check-call is ok.

River I lead - to avoid geting checked through -then you can call the 3bet on the river if u want- I would do this with lower flsuhes and sometimes the rivred aj str8 - and when you are confident ahead u can 4bet/AI.

As played, due to the limeped pot and flop check through I'm not sure what vilan has BUT when he raises a river c/r to 100b 200b deep he says he has you beat - and you're the 1 that looks like drawing - I call and muck myself for not leading the river it as I said earlier it enables us to close the action here/whilst also getting some value.
