he has to have the one card that beats you.. i dont thik i can fold that in a live game, online im check/folding the river..lol.but in all seriousness its hard to fold there, just like when you know they hav AA preflop with your KK, you shouldnt really fold it for longterm equity for when you win

i might fold, but i didnt the one time its happened to me. i didnt flop it, but i had the idiot end of the draw (6 with 789 board) and hit on the turn (10). so did the other guy with the jack. got my chips in as fast as i could.looking back, if i had been playing seriously, and not spewing money, i maybe could have folded. but i wouldn't.oh, and now i can say i've shown a 10 high straight flush and lost the hand.

You did play it like crap.there should have been enough money in the pot after the flop and turn such that you would have to call the river. As played, meh, he's shoving like $50 into how much ?... I'd be calling there - we need reads and pot size. Hard to follow pot size/number of players

I just don't think I would be able to fold there. Straight flushes just don't come very often. You made a good fold there, but in that situation in the long run folding would be -ev. As far as I'm concerned, unless you have an incredible read on your opponent, folding there is just not an option. You seemed to have had a good read on your opponent in that hand though, so nice laydown sir.

unclecollins is correct in the same way as the discussion in the kk thread. it isn't about having a monster hand, it's about trusting a read that lets you fold a monster.though i'd feel silly if he flipped up an ace to show off his 'nut' flush.

why do you bet $2 on the river? What purpose does that serve? Hoping for him to repop, with you showing weakness (stopper bet)?I don't like that bet, I'd rather Check/Call (i know it's conservative, but folding a straight flush is conservative too)I think, how you played it, check/calling on the river is an option, especially if he's liable to bet w/ the Ac or the straight flush. He might push, thinking you have the Ac, or he'll just value bet and you can call. I dunno, I just don't think you're right enough here to fold, but you saved money this time.

i folded a dummy straight flush from the BB in a live game with little preflop action once.it was a good laydown; the details don't matter.it was one of the best hands i've ever played, since i lost what i felt was the minimum once i was sure i was beat.i find that among the best hands i've played, the big hands i 've folded outnumber the "i trapped a guy for all his chips" hands by about 2.5-1.so, i think i'm OK at NLHE.

I'd bet out the flop, make it look like a steal. Of course the only thing calling you is a higher SF or the A high "nut flush". But still, if anybody raised I think I'd have to push. More often than not, I'd think you'd win that one.

he raises all in there with the ace high flush a lot more than he does with the higher straight flush.horrible fold. the way you bet the river makes it even worse.
Yea, that's my thoughts. I bet the flop, he raises or pushes with his A high flush and I'm all over it. Don't let it go beyond the flop.

All the times you laid in bed thinking about having the sf and some yo yo pushing with the A high flush...then, you get the sf and a pusher, and you fold?No way I could make that laydown.No way.Lucky you.
Ns. it was a 50 game. I push a sf every time I have one.
