In the Coaching Dawnfall suggested this could potentially be a fold especially since we believe the chances we're facing a bet/3-bet bluff here are close to 0.

What would you fold here?

Is this our worst raising hand or do we have worse we can fold?

due to the board being paired and the flush came in i wouldn't raise at all. its just too bad a board to ever raise river. he 3bet bluffs 0% never. he always has the flush especially since he donks that screams either he got 55 for rivered FH or the flush way too often. Id curse and just call the donk bet with my straight.

Im just hating life but i cant see myself folding a straight, or a 9 .. in the situation where we unfortunately raise river we cant fold can we ? well if we look at the board the JT is the best hand i could fold but i am 99% i wouldn't.

i think the donk looks like a 6 at first, but yea a flush/full house to, but the raise is fair i recon, since the hand is played so passivly, it doesnt really look like a fd, more like A6 86 76 or K6 perhaps or 55. folding the 3b depends on the apponant really, some players just overplay it, they very well might play a 6 this way. But in this case its probably ok to fold here, i dont see him bluffing or overplaying a 6 like this

I dont remember who played this hand either, but the hand is played really passiv from sb point of view, up to the river anyway :f_grin:. I'de play it b/3b on the flop.

I can't imagine many worse hands be raising the river with as he sometimes got the bd-flush. I would certainly not raise A9 which is the next worse hand to JT. 6x obv no raise but folding is actually no option against a guy on 00,5/0,10 who might be thinking that he could be profitably reraising with 67. :)
