Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6265665, member: 397965"] My take is also, that JFK was just slightly dumb, and that he saw the value of having a local "superstar" to make his stream and ultimately his casino more popular. He did not fold the nut flush, that would after all have been to obvious even for Mike. Final board was Jd9d7c-7d-8s, Mike had AdQd, and Firas had Td8d. Pot was 430$, and Firas only had 550$ left behind, so a little more than a pot sized bet. Flop had gotten checked around, and on the turn Mike decided to lead out after making the nut flush, a third player folded, and Firas just called. The normal river line here with the nut flush out of position would be: 1) Betting around half pot with the intention to call facing a jam 2) Overbet jamming 3) Check-jamming As both Bart Hansson and Doug Polk said, when they broke down this hand, you are not overly concerned about full houses here, because Firas checked back the flop. All the flopped two pair and sets would usually have bet for value and protection, so the only full houses, that would normally be played this way, are 87 and 88 exactly. And with a 1-liner to a straight, you might very might get paid by a straight, or of couse a worse flush or even trip 7s. Mike was known for having a "crazy style", so its not like, his opponents made a lot of incredibly tight folds against him on the river. So Mike could certainly make a profitable stack-off here against the entire range, Firas could have, but of course not his exact hand. As in many of the other hands there was also an element of his opponents misplaying, which allowed Postle to make more money, that he should, even knowing their cards. If Firas had just bet flop, bet turn and jammed river, I dont think, Mike would have had any other choise than to pay him off. Or Firas could at least have made a bigger river bet like 300$ rather than the 140$, he actually choose to bet. [/QUOTE]
