Flush

Only an orbit with the villian, played about half the hands. A few hands back I called a couple bigger bets from him with a good pair going after a flush, then I folded on the river all-in bet.

I'm guessing I got a little hyper. Looking back best play would have been to call right? Especially considering the previous hand. Only two hands I'm worried about are KQ or AK hitting on the river. Mostly likely hands are AK, JJ though.

Thoughts?

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point

Yeah, best to call here. Not all too much to fear from the river. And I'm saying this even though I got shafted by a boat that beat mine on a very unlucky river. Check-raise the river is probably best here then. If you think he has AK, he'll call this all-in regardless. I'd much rather think he has AJ or something. So maybe a weak bet on the river is good too. If he takes it, some extra profit, or he might think you're doubting your hand and wanna steal the pot and reraise you.

I call there, and see if he'll stick it in himself on the river. Some guys can get away from Kx if their kicker sucks. But most of them can't check that river with the same hand.

But I can't see a lot of guys folding a king, really. And if he doesn't have a king, you probably won't get it on the river. So your line isn't bad either.

If you had more money behind, I'd raise the turn every time.

At the limit you're playing right now, most of the players will be playing any 2 cards. AKA, they're probably pretty bad. With a hand this strong I'd be suprised if you'd ever get beat. Play the roll of the calling station, then pump it on the end. We're obviously not fearing JJ here, and as far as AK, your opponent has roughly a 5% chance to hit that on the river. If you're scared of a 5% outter, poker may not be your game bud. =)
