Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 8, K. CO posts a blind of $0.5.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, Hero calls, CO (poster) checks, 1 fold, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 9, T, Q (5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, CO folds, SB folds, BB raises, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) J (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero caps, BB calls.

River: (12.50 BB) 5 (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero caps, BB calls.

Final Pot: 20.50 BB

Results in white below:
BB has Ah 6h (flush, ace high).
Hero has 8h Kh (straight flush, king high).
Outcome: Hero wins 20.50 BB.



Question: I must call the reraise, right?

Now after the J pops up I don't understand him!
What did he think? I had 75 and cap the turn? AND the river?
lol
Easy money is allways good, but how dumb can one be?

Don't fold preflop because you have a raise rehind you, fold because you have a crappy hand out of position.

Yes you have to call to the river with the 2nd nuts.
When you make the nuts on the turn, get as many bets in as possible. He either has the Ah or 8h. I would have guessed the 8, but hey, he flopped what he thought was the nuts, and couldn't see that he was beat. A lot of players make that mistake.
To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

He played it fine, I think. That chances of you having that 8h are so unlikely. I'd think about it on the turn when you capped, but what are you gonna do.

EDIT: In fact, I tend to ALWAYS fear the nuts...which is not good When there's one card that can beat you you pretty much have to assume you are ahead and build the pot, against most opponents.

Umm yea you call , if you fold a flush with a nut straight flush potential your on crack or something, besides how do you put him on the A-high on the flop anyways? you have the 2nd nuts flopped and then turn the pure nut, When the turn comes you played it exactly right nice hand...

I think hero and even villian played the hand correctly for the most part. How often can he give you credit for the str8 flush?

Then again, Villian definitely over-played his hand on the river because it's a one-card str8 flush, and you capped the turn. He should have just check-called the river, but maybe he just didn't given you enough credit, put you on QJo and assumed that your board reading skills suck LOL.
