You're getting 6.25:1. But this really looks like a value bet. Any reads on villain? If he's aggressive, I look him up. But a villain who's played pretty straight forwardly, I probably put it down.

Pretty tough spot. This has to work 1 in 6 times, so I think you gotta look this guy up if you have any inclination that he's bluffing. But at least in cash games, my standard play is to fold this. Not sure about tournies.

See this is my biggest hole in online poker. I never believe the other play, I always think they got crap. I'd call, but don't listen to me...

It does look like a value bet, but that is what he might be doing. I always look for reasons to call with a decent hand. He could have KQ or something - getting over 6:1 odds on a call seems like a call you should make... no? If he had KQ or KJ and not the flush that is the same amount he'd bet. If he has a flush he might be willing to bet a little more. I personally think it's tuff.

Why would he bet a hand like top pair, with a lot of showdown value on that board? I suppose players are often bad...
