Should hero call river with this straight on a flushy board after the turn checks through?

You’re blocking what he’s repping, I would call at least sometimes.

This is a much better loose 3b than loose call from the SB facing loose HJ open, ok as call ip. Moreso if you're paying rake rather than time.

As played prefer raising flop over calling expecting that HJ is too wide pre and flop, so widening kr range to attack that. Not planning to stack off here at spr 13.

Turn is good.

River I think is a fold. For calling, we have a straight and 2nd NF blocker. His range should be capped by checking turn so his river size isn't telling a consistent story. We have him tagged as aggressive so may expect him to steal pots aggressively at many opportunities regardless of what cards he holds. We block his most likely for value hand second nutflush. For folding, we should have a bunch of better candidates (flushes) for bluff catching having played this line. His best bluff candidates should have bet turn so he has less from which to bluff now. He would have bet 2nd nutflush ott so our blocker doesn't limit his value here at all. He's aggressive enough to bet middling flushes for value but not sophisticated enough to understand how his line affects his sizing (common ime). On balance I think this leans fold but it's close I won't wail and moan if you called.

I'd fold pre and I'd fold the flop - hand sucks esp being OOP, on the flop he pots 4 ways and you only have 6 clean outs. As played on the river his line is a little suspect - you'd think he'd bet nut flush on the turn, I guess he could bet non nut flushes like this. I'd consider x/r the river - I don't like that he potted it but rather x/r then call to fold out Jx and worse flushes.

Interesting options to 3bet pre/raise flop, I like both ideas.

Yeah the river is pretty close eh? He has certainly capped his range with the turn check back - and can he really go for potsize value with Jx or Tx flushes? My only concern was that he could be betting non-nut flushes for value, and also that UTG can have small flushes from the turn that he is intending to check-call. I agree that small flushes make much better bluff-catchers here than straights with a high diamond blocker. Ultimately I decided to let this go due to the third player in the the pot - heads up I would be much more inclined to call.

Yeah I think you're right.

Check-raising river a really interesting idea!

Lean fold, as most opponents won't be properly polar here. You start losing a lot once villain starts blasting smaller flushes.

Yeah, that was my feeling too.

Fold pre > 3bet > call...we are deep and this hand is only going to make our life terrible OOP postflop

Fold flop because our outs are not clean

Fold river, unless you think villain is capable of turning made hands into bluffs
