Villain unknown. Until river, I would say a standard game from my side.
OTR I guess I should have raised/AI because there are plenty of lower flushes that would pay me off...

PokerStars - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

Hero (BTN): $6.64 (132.8 bb)
SB: $3.82 (76.4 bb)
BB: $5.00 (100 bb)
UTG: $9.49 (189.8 bb)
CO: $5.41 (108.2 bb)

SB posts $0.02, BB posts $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has K♥: 7♥:
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.12, SB calls $0.10, fold

Flop: ($0.29, 2 players) 8♠: 2♥: 5♥:
SB checks, Hero bets $0.19, SB calls $0.19

Turn: ($0.67, 2 players) 7♦:
SB checks, Hero bets $0.32, SB calls $0.32

River: ($1.31, 2 players) 6♥:
SB bets $0.75, Hero calls $0.75

Spoiler

Results: $2.81 pot ($0.12 rake)
Final Board: 8♠: 2♥: 5♥: 7♦: 6♥:

SB shows 9♣: A♠:: (Straight, Nine High)
(Pre 59%, Flop 45%, Turn 16%)

Hero shows K♥: 7♥:: (Flush, King High)
(Pre 41%, Flop 55%, Turn 84%)

Hero wins $2.69

the turn is a check in my book, as you have picked up SDV.

OTR you have to raise w the K high flush. the interesting question is, where to draw the line and start calling.

I would raise, but not shove.
You want to get called, so 2/3 to 3/4 pot I would think you can still get called by worse.

Really good question. J♥:2♥:+ seems sensible.
Don't want to go much lower, since the board is a great one for A♥:2♥:+ to be never folding...

By "where" you ment the size of the villain river bet? Or am I missing something here :f_biggrin:

So in case, you will get re-raised, you will still find a fold?
Can you elaborate a litlle bit about the J♥:2♥: suggestion? I don't get ...

Thank you!

we were talking about the worst flush to raise and the best flush to call. Vorpal suggested that a J-high flush is the sweet spot.
