    Just to add.... The read on this guy is that he likes to play a wide range of hands when he makes small raises but usually makes substantial raises with big hands..

    bet 500. take down the pot now.
  • STR82ACESTR82ACE
    Bet the pot. Make him pay to fill his flush, if he hasn't got it already, kinda doubt he does. If he calls, and the turn is a brick, bet pot again.

    Winning a small pot is better than risk losing a big one on a drawing hand.

    Yea.. you bet here, three reasons

    A: See where you're at
    B: Punish the draw
    C: Take down the pot now

    I bet.. probably 600...

    Just as an aside, I probably would have re-popped him pre-flop...

    I'd bet but not really for any of the reasons drtyore said except B. I'm betting because it gets the most money in the pot with likely the best hand.

    A. We probably have the best hand but if we don't we're never getting away from it.
    B. Betting gets the most money from a drawing hand and lets him call incorrectly.
    C. I don't necessarily want to take down the pot now I'm fine with him getting lots of money in the pot incorrectly.

    In conclusion, I'm sorry he flopped a flush.

    First let me say you guys are the best thats why I love posting here. One day if I keep playing and reading I might be able to hold a candle to some of the guys here....

    Back to the hand..

    From what you guys are saying i think I played this right for once ..lol

    korn999: bets 800
    ollaa: raises 1886 to 2686 and is all-in



    Now what?
  • waderwader
    He probabbly has something like AK with k of diamonds, or even KK with the diamond depending on his style of play. Why is he raising pre and then checking to you. He must have hit the flop decent to check after the flop. If he did flop a flush i beleive he would check call here, and check raise the turn or maybe even a small reraise on the flop. You are probabbly a slight fav. go for it. Im guessing he has 9-11 outs.
  • SirWattsSirWatts
    Instacall the push of course.
  • STR82ACESTR82ACE
    Call. Hope to pair the board if he had the flush

    This is a tough spot, I like your bet on the flop - on that kind of board you just want to take the pot down there. The way he played this hand is very suspicious - I would put him on A/x(x=K/Q/J) with the flush draw. I don't see any other hand he would check-raise on this board. Hes raising 1886 into 2400 but you only have 1000 left behind so 1000 into 2400. I think you have to go with this hand, blinds are too big to play a stack of 1000 and your probably racing anyway. Best case this guy is trying to move on you with a very scary board, most likely your about 53% to take it down and worst case your 17%... you have to call.
  • specialKspecialK
    i think the most likely holding for this guy is AK or AQ with the flush draw... you definately have to call his push here.
  • fatboyfatboy
    Thanks everyone for your input. I just want to make sure I am making the correct moves when I am losing..

    If you are interested he had Qc 8h I still cant believe he came over the top with this hand I was thinking he had a big A with the flush draw...But anyway he hit his flush on the turn with the 8c and I didnt improve.


    Cheers,
    Mike

    Told you!! If he calls a re-raise with this trash, well, he "earned" that win.
