me - TAG style on pretty wild table - 1200 stack
villain - was on tilt - won it all back on a few big hands - 900 stack
i'm in mp i raise to the table standard of 20 with J7dd few limpers already there. i'm repping ab ig hand with my table image. most fold three call. flop is KdAd5h i bet 70, one guy folds, our villain calls. turn card beautiful 3d i have the second nuts with J high flush. i bet 110 - villain hesitates for a little while (he's older gentlement but getting into psychology would literally consider this guy an emotionless anti-social) finally he says 'i'm all-in' then with a weird smile turns to the guy next to him and says 'that'll put some sweat on his ass'. i think i kinda tilted him because i hit a gutshot on a pot odd committed hand on river a few hands before this for like 200 of his stack.
i'm thinking fold here he turned the Qx flush. but i think well maybe he could be doing this with AK, 55. i think it was about seven seconds i don't know what to think i'm not that great of a player if feel like i kinda just play my two cards so wit htaht being said after five seconds i say 'i call'. of course he has the Q9dd for the best possible hand. i just want to know if good call?
sick bad beat, the thing is the stacks are too deep and you were not commited yet before his all in so if i have doubts and know that i'm loosing to ten combos QdXd including QdTd that looks juicy for plays like this, i will fold most of the time without more info .
if i know however that the guy plays all his flushes like this we could consider calling but in that case he has a premium fish and you would know it...
If there is a 50% chance that the guy is not polarised in this spot and i did not put 1/3 of my stack a fold is just logic with elevenish better hand ((but hard i know) i just muck it and go take walk of 30 minutes or 6 hours if he shows a bluff, but knowing for now on that he is certainly polarised in this spot and do the other thing next time
By the way always come up with a complete plan at the comit threshold, it is like you knew he could hit a better flush when you hit yours durring the flop but did not prepare for the possibility otherwise you would know what to do
Here's the thing to think about before you call: Would he be saying this if he DIDN'T have the flush? If he didn't, he would have to worry YOU had the nuts and would have sweat on HIS ass. I think I would fold here.
