The first 3 streets are all played fine. On the river you face an absurd overbet of 16 times the site of the pot. And yeah I think, an 8 high flush is a fold. Because he got to see a free flop, he can have a lot of bad suited hands including high-low hands such as K2s or Q3s, so there are quite a few combos, you lose to. And its just not worth it to risk an entire stack hoping to catch him bluffing, when you are only in for 2,5BB so far. There is an old saying "dont go broke in a limped pot", which I think apply here.

The bet its just massive so you beat sets, 2 pairs probably a straight (kJ) and a bluff, there are no pairs so no full house your only worry bigger flush ♦ (k, j, 10, 9 ) its not that bad if you played like 100 hands its against a loose/aggressive player. (Probably a fold for me, the value puts to much pressure)

I snap called him basically ready to see a higher flush and he had the one flush that was lower with 72s, lol. U can see the result in the replayer if u not already did.

The thing is that this large overbet is basically only a flush or a bluff. And who bluffs like that on NL2 with almost no money in the pot?

That still does not make the call long term profitable though, since there are far more combos of better flushes than worst flushes. Its also a ridiculous overplay by him, but hey its 2NL, so stuff like this happen

Yes definitely and if we played higher i would seriously think about folding it since i highly doubt someone would just jam a small flush like that. I was on the phone and my finger very near the call Button 😅
