calls...?

i don't understand, this is an obvious call. am i missing something, or is there are a particular reason you are not sure why calling is correct?

just making sure there was no value in a raise.

People could raise this with trip 9's..

I think he's asking if he should raise.

Seems like a straightforward call to me.
If you raise and get called or re-raised, I think you're crushed.

No, a raise is pretty bad here. You were raised on the turn when the board paired and the flush came, and you are raised again on a seemingly harmless river. To reraise this is really bad because it completely ignores the very realistic possibility that you are beat by a higher flush or a boat (perhaps rivered boat).

Yeah sometimes the guy is a donk raising bare trip 9's, but so be it. Add it to your notes and exploit it later. Without a clear read, this is a clear call.

Yeah you're right. I was just being results oriented.

i tend to type and then hit reply and then think and edit as i form my ideas.

making it three on that river just seems like such a bad idea to me i assumed he must be asking if he even call.
