    Both BB and me got 3k this hand.

    folded to me in SB first level of play i got k-4c and limp in bb checks. pot (60)

    flop comes 2c 7c 4s i lead 60 into BB calls (pot 180)

    turn is 7h i bet 150 my opponent calls (pot 480)

    river is 9c i bet 325 my oppnent makes it 950. what do i do here? i dont really think i can fold but the real question is, do i push or do i just flat call this river re raise?

    call, but if you are feeling the go big or go home approach, i min-raise, calling a shove.

    I'd probably shove, I think that he probably would have raised an ache high flushdraw on the flop, and maybe even had raised preflop if he had an ace, because you limped.

    Soeither he is playing his nut flush draw very passively here, or maybe he doesn't have the nuts ( seems more likely to me) So I would definitely shove, give the decision back to him. You probably would be called by f.e. Q and J high flushes and also by an ace high flush obv

    Tough spot man. I think this is just a call.

    AXc, 72, 74, 79 would all play the hand this way. Call and leave yourself 1900~ at 15/30. It might be a little nitty because, depending on how bad villian is, he could be calling your 3 bet with 9x, 7x, or some smaller fush, but there is no way you can test this without pot-committing yourself. That said, your line looks a lot like 4x and villian could just be trying to blow you off the hand when the third c hits.

    Without any reads, I just call and am happy to win a decent pot in the first level. Obv. if I lose, I'm happy that I still have an m of 25~.

    the thing about this hand i forgot to write was that when i limped he insta checked, so i figured he had on check/fold, so i pretty much KNEW he didnt have nut flush, but i thought he has a boat here very often after insta check 72ish hands.

    yup, All the warning bells are there, the 7x throw away hand the boated up. (maybe 22 even).

    He could just be bluffing at you, he could even have a smaller flush 8c 3c type hand. (that would merit and auto fold, pre and perhaps a call down post flop).

    Obviously you should at least call.
    Some situations just flatting is obviously the correct choice, in this situation I'm not sure. I think trip 7 anything may call a shove over the top as may some of the smaller flushes. Of course full houses will call you too.

    Since there is a good chance that worse hands will call if you raise, I think raising with the intention of calling an all-in might be a good play.

    Then again I'm use to playing with $5 spaz tards, where they just see trip 7s and are will call anything.

    I think just call, I cant really see him calling a shove with a naked 7 in a $109.
