Default Sniffing out the bigger flush

As of late, i've run into larger flushes (my 89s runs into an Kxs or Axs) situations like that... with only the 3 flush cards on the board...

and i was wondering if there are any clues to "reading" the higher flush... or is it one of those hands that you're doomed to lose in small stakes NL...

I guess the situation doesnt come up often enough to really be a problem but I'd still like to know if there are any common indicators that i'm missing...

I think if you go broke every time you have a smaller flush, you're doing just fine. Just chalk it up to variance, absent a superspecific read developed over thousands of hands.

Flush over flush is hella more common than people seem to be making it out to be. Only experience can teach u when its time to just call a river bet instead of coming over the top when you think he has a higher flush.

Texture of the flop, his line.. and have position when you play 89s. This makes the decison so much easier.

Maybe your problem is that you like playing small suited hands too much. With that I think it can become a dangerous thing, specially because people at SSNL playe a LOT of suited crap, so you can find T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] against 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

With this, I think best is to push to the max every flush you make. If not you are losing a lot of value from them. Of course always with common sense.

regards,

dardo

Probably any 3 card flush over 10 high, I'm getting stacked on. If there is NO other possible holding for villian and my flush is 5-6 high... I might dump one in 10 with a good read... to extreme aggression(it doesn't come up). Monotone flops, and four flush boards are a different matter. Not hard to get a read.

Playing low non-connected suited junk oop is how you lose flush over flush. If you suspect there is another flush out and yours is low, take a less aggressive line vs blindly pushing.
