Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7142090, member: 397965"] Preflop I would also call here, if there is a nit in the hand. Never folding but sometimes 3-betting. Flop As you say, you could raise, but its also fine to just call and then maybe put the hammer down on the turn. Turn I think, this bet is to small. It makes sense for him to have a J and play it this way, and I dont think, a J is folding for 40 as opposed to 20. You have a very strong hand now and need to build the pot, especially since you just called his small flop donk. River This is another problem with playing so slow. Now there is a 1-liner to a straight, so its more difficult to get top pair to pay, which is really the main hand, you are targeting. I guess, he could sometimes have a straight, but there are way less combos of that. Like maybe 43s or something. So as played I think, its fine to bet small again. When he raise, its kind of awkward, because the sizing is so small. You say, you think, he has a flush, but in that case you are most likely beat, because there are more combos of the nut flush than reasonable smaller flushes, and people are also much more likely to slowplay the nut flush. If he had a T high flush or worse he would want to protect it against hands with a single higher spade in them. He could be raising a straight, because you bet so small, that your hand does not look like a flush. But as I said already, there are very few logical combos of those. Of course you are not folding here getting like a million to one. But I think, its actually just a call, because I think, its unlikely, he is taking this line with a worse flush, and there also are not many combos of those, when you have both the K and Q, and the J is on the table. Results I think, you were quite lucky to run into a small flush here. Although of course if he can have something as bad as T7s, then my argument about combos become less valid. But normally I would assume, that a SB call could be A7s and T9s but not T7s. But that being said, because you went so small, you can actually 3-bet fold. If he comes back over the top with a 4-bet, thats highly unlikely to be anything other than the nuts. So you can get a bit of value from smaller flushes or straights while not going broke against the nut flush. [/QUOTE]
