Monotone flop: turn nut straight

[TeeJayOrTJ]

This is early in a 27.50 PS tourney. MP2 in this hand is a donkey. Don't remember the specifics of the hand before this...but he doubled up and it was an ugly play.

Is he the kind of donkey that would check call top pair to the river then raise? Would he slowplay a flopped flush like this? I can see you beating an A if he is capable of doing this with just A high, but I don't know how often he is going to have it. The most likley hand I see him having is a set. Second most likley is he limped with A rag suited and slowplayed the nut flush, or hit a raggedy two pair by hitting the A on the river. Given your read I think I would close my eyes and call.

[hamnegger]

id call but i would not like it.

Call. I probably check here though on the end and let someone bluff or value bet an ace.

I'd also fold pf.

OH GOD MY EYES

just kidding. If you look up "crying call" in the dictionary, this hand is pictured next to it. I avoid ish spots like this by just folding preflop.

Check is better than lead here, yes.

You can fold preflop, I suppose, but I'm in that camp where calling (as long as you are comfortable playing flops and don't [censored] yourself too hard) is OK at this blind level.

As played, I call, and I'm just fine with it. Unless he has the nuts, KcXc and other made flushes would raise the turn (prob. with AcXc a raise too), so you're not worried about a lot of combos. Chances are he made two pair, hit AK/AQ, sucks, lol, I dunno, maybe it's a flush like 50% of the time.
