Player #10 checks too, also afraid of the flush. Player #6 bets
$4.
There is no way I will fold this hand for one bet. There is now
$50 in the pot, and calling would cost me only $4. If I have even a 12.5% chance to win, I should call.
However, I can't raise, either. Player #10 would fold to a raise since I'm certain that he doesn't have the
flush (there's no way he would have checked on the river with one player left to act). Plus, if I call,
there's a chance that Player #10 will make a crying call for $4, which I still have a chance of winning.
I call $4 and Player #10 folds.
Player #6 shows down
I win the $54 pot ($51.50 after the rake) with a straight to the five.
Player #6 has two pair. This hand makes sense now. A-T suited is usually a raising hand (at least,
I would raise with it), but Player #6 probably did not want to raise after two people had already called the big
blind. I really thought I was beaten by a full house more than the flush, but this hand just proves that you can't
fold a made hand on the river for one bet if you have a reasonable chance of winning. Saving $4 would have cost me
$47.50.
