Message: [QUOTE="Bombjack, post: 448064, member: 11914"] Don't worry too much about straight flushes... they're so rare that unless you have a really good reason to think that's what they have, you should pay it off. Personally I'd have lost a lot more money on this hand, but this would be made up for in the 95% of times when they don't have a straight flush. I would raise on the river and fold to a re-raise. I'd also have raised on the flop, with my two suited overcards, which would make me a favourite to a pair or medium overpair like 88. You're still 35% to win on the flop with the actual cards he had, and it's rare that you're up against a straight flush draw with a pair, the biggest draw you can get. A raise on the turn will also get rid of the drawing hands, even though that's what you've got. Your opponent might even have folded there to a big raise, as all he has is a pair. [/QUOTE]
