Well, if there is a str8 flush possible then you have to go based on your read. In this case, the player has an 85% vpip and is just crazy enough to:

a) see a flop with a hand containing both a 7 and 9
b) chase a one outer

Against a super solid player I could see laying it down in PL, but that is about as rare an occurrence as you're going to find at any limit below $200 I'd say.

If I didn't hold the K of diamonds as well, I'd probably reraise it, but with the board the way it was I could see him holding the 7 and 9. I'm still not laying it down in this case for one more bet, however. Against someone I knew that was solid (ojingo, teknipper) I might lay it down in PL if it's another half pot back at me. I'd say you have to eat it against most everyone at these limits tho. Guys will reraise a 2nd nut flush all the time.

Interestingly enough, ever since this hand I have been on a horrible run of similar hands and decided to cash out most of my roll from UB. Not that I'm saying it's rigged or any bs like that, I just feel there's bad karma on there and will put my money to a better use (namely, buying my wife the anniversary ring that I know she wants and doesn't expect me to get for her).

If this is PL at the lower limits, I reraise and bite the bullet. There are so many times that the wingnuts will slow play their sets or just misread their hands that the move is +ev. If you have the str8 flush, congrats and here is my stack. This also applies for running up against quads with the top boat.

The only way that I just call is if I reraise and get reraised by a solid player. Even then, I will pay it off.

PS - JD, I have a nice anniversary ring that my wife doesnt wear right now (due to pregnant fingers). Maybe we can work out a deal on it. LOL
