25NL: I flop a flush, in a multiway flop

homeslice · #1 08-12-2007, 01:14 PM

I have only played a handful of orbits w/ button, and he hasn't done anything unusual. When he raises the flop, I know I am playing for my stack. Am I ahead here often enough to shove?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO ($27.50)
Button ($65.85)
Hero ($35.35)
BB ($12.80)
UTG ($5.10)
MP ($0.50)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.25, 2 folds, Button calls $0.25, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($1) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero bets $0.75, BB calls $0.75, UTG calls $0.75, Button raises to $5.5, Hero ???

What were you hoping to flop that could be better than this? You're WAY ahead of his range -- get the money in as fast as you can while you are likely far in front. If he flopped a bigger flush, then bless him and curse the poker gods.

If you're not getting it in on this flop, then when would you?

What was his VP$IP and PRF? If he limps a wide range and only raises a norrow range I would be inclined to think he doesn't have a higher flush as he would have raised most Axs and Kxs.

And yes he could have a set or something like A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I remember reading that the odds of someone holding a higher flush than you if you have 2 suited cards on a monotone board is something like 1-110. Raise it up.
