NL50 Nut Flush on River

[WillisChan87]

So this is my first ever post about a hand...
Tell me what you guys think about the how I played the hand.

No real reads on people. UTG seems like a very loose passive player and same thing with BB.

BB ($67.15)

seems fine to me, if he has straight flush you got coolered

The turn check looks good. Although you could be ahead and also sometimes will have a ton of outs if behind, playing for pot control seems reasonable. You don't know who's drawing, it could easily be you, and these Villains probably won't charge you all that much on the river if you're behind (and if they try to, you can just fold).

On the river, although I guess you only really have the fourth nuts, obviously you're looking to get all-in and are happy when it turns out that BB is as well.

For the love of god, please do not post results of this hand.

If you do, please move this post to BBV. Gracias.

(Hand is totally standard, obviously)

Well since it seems like my play was fine, I did run into a KhJh for a straightflush. I was just wondering if there was... really any way for me to either fold to the reraise, or just call his lead. I think folding.. might be reasonable since I couldn't really think of anything else he would have 3bet with other than MAYBE a Kh?

Yeah, the naked Kh is basically what you're hoping for.

Villain should know that your river raise means trouble for the naked Kh, but he's loose and bad, and loose and bad players make irrational decisions sometimes, even ones that seem out of character for them, on unusual boards like this one.

Edit: It is actually possible that you'd rather just get called instead of getting 3-bet on the river, but the initial raise seems easy enough, and once you get 3-bet, I think the odds you're getting are too good to be thinking about folding.

Wtf? In this spot you get all of your chips in with a huge smile on your face. If he has the highly improbably nuts, you throw up, reload, swallow the cooler, and move on. This hand is a no brainer.

[Sense1ess]

Well you eventually lost a big pot because of a cooler. If I were you I'd move down to work on my precognitive abilities.
