Q
; he checks and you bet $13. He calls and the turn comes 2
. He checks and you bet $36. He calls and the river comes 5
. He checks.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Bet all-in
The flush card hit, but that doesn't mean he has a flush. A decent player is usually going to fold a naked flush draw on the turn. This makes his most likely holdings queens, with K-Q and A-Q being the most obvious. You built the pot big enough to get your stack in, so get it in and hope he hero-calls you with his queen.
