Hero: _____


Ok, here's the thing. 22SHADOW seems fairly unremarkable. But LinGoLas is constantly betting his second-best type hands hard, in ridiculously predictable fashion. If it were heads-up, this would be a good situation for me. I was pretty sure I had him beat quite often here (my personal read was that he had the ace of hearts, possibly with 2 pair). If it were just me and him, I would definitely call.

But I'm in a squeeze situation. 22SHADOW could very well have me beat here, and I have to put in all those chips having no real idea as to what he has.

Your thoughts.

just a cooler if u were beat imo.

ur likely way ahead of the donk, and I don't see why the other guy should affect it - he doesn't have much more than the donk and hasn't repd anything more than a pair or flush draw.

This is precisely what happened. I think I was being too results oriented in this hand. Thanks for the re-assurance everyone.

Here's how the hand ended. I just called figuring, if he's calling me here, I'm probably beat, so maybe I could save myself 10 bucks. Maybe that was actually my biggest mistake of the hand?


trias55 has 15 seconds left to act
trias55 calls $25.55
22SHADOW calls $25.55
*** RIVER *** [3h 5h Jh As] [3d]
trias55 checks
22SHADOW checks
*** SHOW DOWN ***
LinGoLas shows [8d Ah] (two pair, Aces and Threes)
trias55 shows [Th 4h] (a flush, Jack high)
22SHADOW shows [Kh 9h] (a flush, King high)
22SHADOW wins the pot ($98.40) with a flush, King high
LinGoLas is sitting out
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $101.40 | Rake $3
Board: [3h 5h Jh As 3d]
Seat 1: 17013 folded on the Flop
Seat 2: tmoney344 (button) folded on the Flop
Seat 3: LinGoLas (small blind) showed [8d Ah] and lost with two pair, Aces and Threes
Seat 4: trias55 (big blind) showed [Th 4h] and lost with a flush, Jack high
Seat 5: TinJim folded on the Flop
Seat 6: 22SHADOW showed [Kh 9h] and won ($98.40) with a flush, King high

 Don't ever fold a 2 card flush 100 deep I think.
