My questions:

- Is it OK to push on the river or should I bet for value (~3) because I only get called by higher flushes?

- Is it appropriate to throw away this kind of low flushes from time to time?

- Is it a shame to get broke to a higher flush?

Tnx again guys

Hi Zeffke!

I would go broke here as well. I would reraise the turn bigger to put him nearly all-in. You don't want to see another :heart: coming up on the river. As you played it: Riverpush is ok.

I almost never fold a flush in that situation. If he has a higher flush: so be it. But he can also have a straight or two pair or a set. So: easy all-in.

Good luck at the tables!

OK thought so but wanted to hear that from you

Recently I have a very bad downswing, breakin even in about 6-7k hands. Losings set vs. sets, flushes vs flushes etc, ...That's why I'm doubting at everything for the moment. Still making 7 BB/100 this month so that's ok i guess

Yup...that's more than ok. Nice job! And a downswing is a part of every poker life (btw.: to play break even is not a downswing ;) ).

Good luck at the tables!

I keep going broke in this situations....

I'm down $50 at NL25 with flushes after 2k hands I played to showdown. Is this just a normal downswing or do I need to be more careful with my flushes?

Tnx
