Thought i made the right decision to call the turn as I'm getting the right odds to make the call on the river with 12 outs.

This hand did leave me questioning how i would of played the river if i did hit though as i would not be holding the nuts straight or flush but i would of had position.

If the 5 came, how would you play that? what size raise in front do you call and would you raise it if checked to you?

What about the flush (only really beat with the King as i'm think an ace would of raised on the flop). This i would be willing to call a bigger bet.

Should i be taking into account these better hands when i decide to call the turn bet or should i stop worrying about monsters under the bed?

The answer is easy: dont play the river.

Fold the turn :)

I don't invest chips to draw to 3rd nutflush. Paying for a draw is rarely good in sng's, paying for 3rd nutdraw is plain bad :)


agree with viewer, even if u got almost the odds, its ugly to call with that 3rd nut flush and gutshot. Because if any of ur out falls on the river, almost all the time the action will stop, and if its not, they ll have the best hand. So keep some chips and fold on the turn

I agree with this. With K :heart:2 it's closer here, but check/folding your hand is best.
