You may think that this ended good for me, but how in the hell does he not go bust here with the K high flush? This guy had just made a river reraise with a J high flush on a paired board about two hands earlier. The way I see it, he owes me $25 more bucks.

For about the last two weeks, I have either had my hands not paid off or had the hand to pay off someone (have I mentioned that I lost with a str8 flush?) or been outdrawn in the big pots (Me AKQ10 Villian Q1088 Flop QQ10 and I got felted).

Does anyone not go bust here in this situation? I will start the vote by saving that I do minus some incredible read.

Obviously according to the J-high re-raise a few hands ago you're right and it's wierd this guy didn't pop you again. However, in this hand I think re-raising would be a very bad play on his part. Note that he also has the Q[c] so he has the nut AND second nut flush covered. I think against a very solid, tight nut-peddler you might even consider folding to the re-raise on the river, although I call it down knowing I'm beat 90% of the time.

To go broke here would be really bad (unless you have a read that you're playing a real clueless LAG donk) so if you would perhaps you need to re-evaluate that.

In a deeper stacked game, especially, you need to be careful not to reopen the pot with a nut flush if you think an opponent with a lower flush is less than likely to call and if there's a straight flush possibility on board. It really sucks to then get re-raised for 300BBs or something. But you can save yourself some chips in smaller stacked games too, once it's been raised and re-raised, especially if you (as he was here) are up against a tight player and have both the nut and 2nd nut flush covered.
