    I'm only scared of olliespaw if he pushes here, seems like he could also have flush which will obviously be better than mine. I made the check raise small enough because if olliespaw shoves I can get away from the hand. But do I actually want to get off this hand? If he pushing with a single big spade? I'm quite sure ollie isn't much of a reg so I think a single big spade is well in his range. Call or fold this shove? Thoughts please?

    fold preflop he onjly has 60bbs and you are oo pwith 4high.

    i would probably lead out on the turn tbh, id defiately c/r bigger and have no intention of folding

    As detailed a response as ever.

    Anyway on to a reply of at least some use.

    I presume you called the flop because you believed that if you hit your flush you are winning, and if that's the way you've played it then you should be calling imo.

    Yuk! ... But for another £16 to win a £67 pot you need to call. Olliespaw is a bit of lagtard as well, so he may only have 2 pair or a set here

    Yuk!! Get back to being nitty Rico ffs!! lol

    I call on the river here as played, had he shoved for more then it's a more difficult call and I probably fold.
    Fold pre as well to stop putting yourself in these tricky spots v villains you don't have much reads on :) NIT FTW!!

    Are you a wum ? Come on man over time what do you really think ? I don't rate this holding hugely against ANY random hand. Poker is about generating situations of considerable advantage. You know the answer to this already. If you had have rammed it ALL IN on the flop your opponent would have folded. If he/she calls and is ahead you can easily suck out.  Have you considered steroids ? Or lying totally. Look at the board .Perhaps play drunk for a week. You may gain some massive insights. I'm no expert btw. If you are going to play hands like this play them like a-a. It's a sick weird game where people don't usually hit. Listen to cats like dohhhhhhhhhh. If in doubt bet but do it like you really mean it. RAM. They will let you know if they ARE SURE they have the best hand. Like Chuck D recommends " fight the power ". Good luck btw.

    Alright legend, take a chill pill. Obv i've been playing this game totally wrong with me 4 high flush draw, no overs and roughly 35% chance of winning on the flop (providing no one else has a spade or even 2 spades for that matter), I was looking for thoughts, not a master class and a slight rub down from a legendary bowl cake like yourself. In the words of Chuck D, "fight the power," of speach and good luck for the future!

    Ok man. i didn't want to appear overly critical but sometimes it's really important to visualise. Imagine your opponent thus. You have just popped out to your local service station to purchase a gallon of unleaded and a box of swan vestas.  You arrive in your front room to find an insanely drunk Wayne Rooney ( the villain ) violating your Nan ? (you were the one that left the door unlocked, geddit ? ) What next ? You get the picture ? BURN HIM OF !!!. I was merely trying to evoke your latent combative spirit. Get in!  And really try to fight the power. Then you learn. You have to lose to win in time. I'm with Dohhhhhhh all the way on this one I hope my views are useful here. If not sincere apologies.    :(.........
