5 limps, I check 74 in the BB.

Flop 864

I lead, call, call, loose laggy bad btn raises, I 3!, MP and button call. MP is on the bad side, plays too many hands, some aggression pre and post, but not too crazy.

3 to the turn about 7 BB.

Turn 864Q

I bet, MP snap raises, button calls, I...

Fold?

Call and call one on river?

Blech.

Tough spot. He has a flush, and i think you might be drawing to one out (5). I think I could find a fold here and expect to see a bigger flush at showdown.

Before opening thread I thought it'd be a question of whether to 3! or not.
I'd call down. The tell is the snap raise - which usually means he was waiting for a heart but could also mean he was waiting to raise the turn with his flopped straight or set, or a more distant possibility, the queen improves his hand by making two pair or a set. And then, there are a few worse flushes he could have. Yeah, call and call one on riv.

This is Foxwoods $4/$8, they don't know how to raise with 3 of the same suit on the board unless they have two of them. I'm basically guaranteed to be smoked in this spot w/ this holding at Woods.

Maybe if this opponent is capable of popping a vunerable strong hand, I c/d. I'd want to see him do it first, though.

Most LL players are frightened for flush boards and will not bet/raise unless they have the flush, but I have seen some that are not afraid to raise a straight in this spot. I would call, and call one on the river.

I call down expecting to lose, but you don't have to be good often enough for this to be right, especially with the loose button trailing you both the whole way.

With the 8 and the 6 out there it would mean he'd have to have the 5 (and lower - not as many combos as there are those higher) for you to win which ironically is your life saving out if he had a bigger flush which in this situation he more often than not does. I'd Fold.

call down

This. Just get to showdown and figure it all out then. Also, don't ever fold a flush... it's poor form.

It takes a big person to fold a flush in this spot.

I hate folding here, but I know way too many Foxwoods players who see 3 hearts on the board, look at their set and go "OMG CHECK CHECK CHECK"

Then when you muck, they go "I thought you had a flush!"

Foxwoods $4/$8 goes from really bad to jaw droppingly bad when the flush is in play.

I'd call down unless (a) a fourth heart comes or (b) BTN raises the river.

yah, i get what you're saying. i just see that more when the mubsy player in question is the one who has been putting in the aggression and his opponents are check/calling - but here i think hero's flush is disguised because he and one other player were betting and raising the flop.

Is there any possible side value to seeing the hand he has in this spot? I am guessing that if you will play little or not at all w/ this player later, that it does not matter... but if you have played much already w/ this person maybe a fold (or call) is in order based on his range in this spot. My point is that if you will play much later with him, perhaps calling here where -EV but only a little bit, it could be worth it.

MP limped/called preflop, called an bet, then took 2 to the face OTF, then suddenly sprang to life OTT.

Screams flush line to me.
