    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    idk I'd just fold without thinking about it too much.

    Definitely a very tough spot, I personally would've raised the turn (and maybe even bet on the flop) just because there's a lot of potential draws out there.

    BB could easily have the final ace (significant 3 bet preflop). A 1/3 pot bet on the turn seems strange if they had a bare flush draw. I am thinking they have an ace and even if they do, who knows if the kicker is better than yours.

    definitely a tough decision, I feel like a fold is the best play at this point

    He can't have a flush though, so only AK/KK that slowplayed flop?
    Nine to five is how to survive - I ain't trying to survive / I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot //

    Can offer RB deals on most sites, PM me.

    I don't think it's inconceivable people have a flush here. Suppose they 3b 78ss or something, and they don't want to bet and get shipped on the flop?

    It's not a bad spot for a low FD to take a c/c line, when people would perceive a c/c range as having monsters in it here?

    A c/c line makes no sense to me, nor does the fear of getting shipped on this flop when I have an 8hi FD! I'd pretty much always cbet 1/3 pot or so.

    That said you rep like A9s+, 77, some FDs, so folding is probably correct.

    If I had a flush draw on this scary board I am absolutely checking the flop. Trying to see if I can hit a spade...the villain could definitely have a flush on the river

    Alright thanks for the feedback everyone.

    The roles were reversed in this hand, and I was actually BB here and trying to see if my river bluff was good, or if LP with any Ax will be snapping.

    Seems to be alright by the responses here so far. It was so long ago I don't even remember my hand, but they both folded. BTN folded after tanking a long time.

    bb rerasie pf shows that he doesn't have suited cards but does he have a full house or a better ace is the question if you never seen him fold if he is nonaggressive and does't usually rerasie pf fold. If he is a loose caboose flatcall. thats my opinion

    Goes to show that the line that doesn't make sense is a bluff, as is often the case. I would fold but I'm tempted to call because it looks fishy, and I more expect this to be for value on microstakes.

    I saw a mate use a similar line for value yesterday (after losing a pot) and get a call so I dunno, atleast some people have a value range here.
