My bet on the flop assured me that sea dragon had an A. I wasn't sure about the

status. But I knew there weren't 2

Should I have pushed on the river and bluffed the flush?

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

I do that at times, but its really risky without position. Its risky enough with position.

I had this crazy hand with a player who had just sat down, and I had no read on (and later found out he was a complete fish, and a combination of a maniac / calling station).

I had pocket aces, and bet big, and he called (of course, as I'd soon find out, since he called basically anything). The flop was something like T-rag-J, two diamonds, and I bet hard and he called. The turn was K of diamonds, and I think he bet here and I called. River was a Q of diamonds, the 4th diamond.

I'm pissed, since I was nearly positive he had a flush or flush draw at the turn. He checks to me at the river, and I decided to make a big bet (somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 of the pot size), to hopefully scare him out if he has a small diamond.

He calls, and I win with my straight. Haha, I was floored. Sadly I didn't get to see what pathetic hand he called with.

If this was at Empire after the next hand starts click "Last Hand" and you will see the hand he mucked in the hand history window. This can be a very useful tool.

As for Humph, with your short stack this seems like a good opp to bluff but with the player calling with that trash in the first place, he's probably call you down with A high.

Poker is all about the long long long long long long long term . . .
