Not got the HH to hand, but can post at a later date. It isn't that important as it is a common situation that can be generalised a little.
$50 NL Cash game
78 of clubs in the Big Blind. One Limper who plays lots of pots calls in early position. Player in middle position min raises. I call with my 78 suited, fairly confident that the early limper wont re raise, but just call, as he has done it almost every hand.
Not to sure about the min raise guy, no real reads on him, but am thinking really Premium pair is a high possibility.
Flop comes down, with all low cards below ten all clubs. I flopped the flush. Pot stands at about $3.75. I bet the full pot to protect against a higher club.
Early limper folds, which is actually a surprise ! The min raiser calls. Next card is a King of clubs. Four clubs on the board now. 3 in my hand.
My dilema now. Do I bet to see where I am, or is there any point, as if he has the Ace of Clubs then He will surely just call, giving me no information really other than I am beat, but he may possibly check if he has the club
making a call on the river possibly cheaper, or at least letting me see how expensive it will be to see if my flush is good.
Or is it a case of just giving up the hand. My thoughts were, he either had The Premium pair I thought, and wasn't letting go no matter what, he had the premium pair, with the Club, and I was doomed. Or he had a set, it isn't un common to see players min raise pre flop with low pairs, even with a limper or two.
Was really confused to be honest what actually was the best play.
Thoughts ?
