well, it's 600 to call to win potentially 2400 (if the BB doesn't repop)I think I call, but a diamond on the turn might kill any action you would get anyway. I'm not sure how I would play this hand, honestly.Just jam... it's KING KRABLAR! (sw)

I'd rather call the 600 than fold. I guess what you're really hoping if you call is that somebody will make a lower flush than you and stack off. The original bettor will probably just call the 300 behind, and you'll be getting good odds to see the turn, and decent implied odds (you're OOP, which is a problem as far as getting paid off). A king might be good as well. Also, if you don't play the krablar then you can't do the dance

I play it the same - no telling if BB reraises, and we're not getting any action if we hit our draw (unless, as always, we're playing dopes). Plus we're OOP and can't react to the action and/or control the pot size.

Our hand becomes painfully obvious when we flat call here, thus limiting our implied odds..The only time we stack someone is when we get up against a lower flush, which I would say happens about as often as us getting stacked by the nut flush.. I think folding is the correct play

It's a $4.40 so we are.

QFT. How many times have you made your flush on the turn only to have someone push all in w/ the naked ace of that suit?$4.40's are soooooooooo fun.

Yeah it's probably a safe bet to check your purse at the door.

dude- were you railing me? Of course the flush got there on the turn and the naked ace shoved. Oh well.

K3s is garbage. Just fold PF, even with those odds.

Do not speak of the King Crab like that. It is the best possible hand.

No way, this is an easy complete for sure. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned leading this flop with the intention of 4 bet shoving to a raise. That's what I'd do.

Hey Grinder. I'm just curious as to what you would do if the turn is a blank, after a hypothetical situation of you leading out and your opponents flat calling the flop that is?

It honestly depends on the type of opponent is the villain. I think some are more inclined to give credibility to leading into the entire field out of the sb, so I might check with the intention of getting a free card. Some people I may think are capable of flatting the flop with a weak hand or a draw himself so I might bet again. It's all situational I think.
