king high flush on the river (1/2)

[thecamelot 0]

Ok this is my last hand to post... I've seen MP1 bet some real garbage hands but also some decent ones.. Was this too loose of a preflop call? On the river - everyone wakes up! Clearly I can't fold... Do I call and go for the overcall here?Ack, anyone want to workout the EV of raising/calling on the river for me?My guess is that I get called/raised by better hands and lose more when I'm behind and win less when I'm ahead (folding the SB).What wakes up everyone there? I'm behind to two hands - Ax of hearts, and J8 of hearts. The 9 could be a completed straight... Ahh I dunno :(Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cxPreflop: thecamelot is Button with K:heart:, 7:heart:. 2 folds, thecamelot calls, SB completes, BB checks.Flop: (4 SB) 5:club:, T:heart:, Q:heart: (4 players)SB checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, thecamelot bets, SB calls, BB folds, MP1 calls.Turn: (3.50 BB) 3:club: (3 players)SB checks, MP1 checks, thecamelot checks.River: (3.50 BB) 9:heart: (3 players)SB bets, thecamelot ???

I think I'm 3-betting this river. There is only one card in the deck that beats you, and it has to be paired with another heart. Chances are slim that the villian has it.Although, I don't know the math, I think it is most likely +ev to 3-bet this every time. I think you have the best hand FAR more than not.Two pairs, straights, are all betting this river, unless they are incredibly passive, so IMO, a 3-bet is good.Flop call is pretty loose, btw, but it's an easy hand to dump if you miss it. But, I would like to see a few more limpers before I make that call with such a speculative hand.Zach
