Double Your Money 1st hand dilemma
This is a £22 DYM first hand. I like to play a wide range early to see some flops and the following hand arose.
I haven't played this hand great - especially the min raise on river. My question is.......
Is this an insta call or a fold and give myself time to recover? I'll post my actions later on.

You have the third nuts only losing to A or K flush. The villain has played it like a drawing hand but it could be straight or flush. With the straight on the board he could easily make that raise with a raggy 9 or just because he believes that it will be split.
For me having gone that deep looking for the flush i dont think you can lay it down. You have put in nearly half your stack to hit it. Why would you go that deep looking for your miracle card and then fold when you hit it. So for me it would be a call just because of the amount invested. If he has a better flush then so be it.
For me it would of been an insta call as the best hand i could put him on there is 9 10. I don't beleive he's got a flush, that's beating you anyway, as K or A suited i would of been raising pre-flop with one limper.
A fingers crossed call.
Hopefully he doesn't have an ace or King flush.
Harsh if he has, but I think he is representing something and knows a big bet may put you off.
I don't see a massive issue with your re raise as you do have the third nuts.
If he held a hand like ace 2 or king 3 hearts then doubtless a preflop check would have been in order.
Sure you're losing to a AK flush but he's shoving with a 9 or stealing here alot of the time.
Only kidding, I would definately call. Cross your fingers and call.
Check back turn.
Call river.
However, having said all that I don't play anywhere near these levels so could be wrong.
Call.
call phil think u got beat cause he had a bigger flush
I go with the general concensus on this one and say call.
I think you are expecting to be the one to push all in once you get your flush and give him a decision to make, so when he does it to you, you think hmmm, is he beating me? But with the chips invested, i think you are comitted to believing a flush to queen wins, and like others say, there are plenty of hands that you are beating that he could be going all in with.
I'd rather just make it an easy call tbh
Did you get bust out by king 2 hearts?
Even with no knowledge of the villain I'd call (but I'm a station).
If I was in his position and I had two overs to the board and a flush draw, I'd be playing it far more agressively on the flop and turn (against a decent opponent!). Therefore, I'd restrict the possible hands that are beating me to Ace-rags and King-rags of hearts. Next, I'd rule out the King-rags since I think (if he's not a nutter) he would just call your river raise as he could well put you on the nut flush (or he's very brave). So, I'm only worried about Ace-rags and definitely think I'm getting the odds to balance this against him being a nutter/extreme optimist.
You played the cards to hit a flush and now you have there is nothing to think about.
I think villian played 9 10 o/s and is trying to steal the pot.
Thx for feedback all
You had the third nuts at the end of the day, I know the game was early and an embarrasing exit is certainly not what you want.
But in all fairness, you know as well as I that folding the third nuts at every sign of aggression would not put your roll where it is today.
It stayed on just long enough to see I had a caller.
That was a painful few minutes while I rebooted, I can tell you.
I had not found the hand history box at that stage of my poker life!
I asked, but no one replied, it left the caller so short, he went out next hand. (which I also missed)
