Final Board: Q 4 5 A T

SB showed T Q and won $9.69 ($4.74 net)

At least my read was good that he didn't have a heart. :f_cry:

Preflop: standard? Clearly never folding to the 3bet for those odds.

Flop: Again I don't think I can fold on this board for these odds (maybe this is getting me into trouble?) but a raise would isolate me against better, so I just call.

Turn: nasty card for me, I check behind with the intention of folding if he bets the river.

River: when he checks again, I get an attack of FPS. I think he rarely has a heart, because he has one less than half the time anyway and it is even less likely given that he failed to barrel the turn or bet the river. So I turn my hand into a bluff and try to represent the one-card flush. Good idea or not - should he fold non-flushes often enough here for this to be profitable?

Hey,

I think Pre, Flop and Turn are OK given your thinking. River is not FPS at all imo.. you can have Jh, Kh here often enough, your line is believable and he never has Kh imo thus betting 2/3 pot or so should show a profit.
