Hey guys, does anyone have any nice lines they like to take against an average skilled opponent who isn't too extreme when you flop a medium flush?

Preflop: kinda iffy about the call... i feel like its too good to fold but still don't feel that comfy with the hand... guess it comes with more experience

Flop: i think the only play is call

Turn: wasn't sure about betting, he is utg, so if he has any flushes, chances are they are K or A high i'm assuming. i checked for pot control (not afraid of letting too many hands see a free card anyway as i'm not giving him 100% of his 2pairs or sets because he bet the flop and i feel he would check some)

River: tanked a long time then called. this guy didn't seem like a maniac so i felt there was a lower chance he was bluffing. sizing felt too big for a low flush that i beat. ended up calling as we can see.

How do you guys like to play this hand?

First, you don't have a medium flush. You have the 2nd nuts.

I think that depending on opponent, I might bet that turn. As if he has the nutflush, he is unlikely to check it to you and give a free card to sets. So either he has a set/2pairs/small flush himself, or nothing. When he cbets 4way, he usually has something. And as he doesn't bet the turn, you should assume that you are ahead until something states otherwise. If he has a set, you are just giving him a free card. If he has a smaller flush, you are likely to get value for 1bet so you can take it on turn.

When turn goes check-check, and he bets the river, that sure looks like a fullhouse. Generally in plo10 that is a bad spot to bluff, as most of the opponents will call with any fullhouse and any flush that they called the flop with. So the average folding equity is pretty low. If the opponent is somewhat good, he knows this and that bet is purely for value. If you would have bet the turn, and he then donks this river, it would be a lot easier to play.

True that this was the 2nd nut flush lol I didn't notice the board had a King (lol I'm an idiot sometimes). I like your reasoning for the rest of the hand, thanks a lot

What would you do if you actually had a medium flush like the J high?
