Call, unless you are >95% certain (i.e. almost positive) that someone has
filled their flush or hit a set of trip kings.
Dismissing the case of trip kings and assuming a flush you still have as many
as 10 outs which will improve your hand to beat a made flush -- you should
call from pot odds alone. Even better, you can't be sure you're not actually
still the best hand as things stand. However, if you reraise you're probably
going to drop any hands that are still drawing (like a naked ace of spades)
and if there's going to be more money going into the pot you'd rather it come
from them than from you.
You have a strong hand in this situation -- very strong. The fact that it
might be beat means you can't bet it quite as strongly but that's poker..

Actually my advice in #1 is incorrect. The only hand that should make you
fold on the turn is trip kings -- any other hand that could be made at that
stage gives you pot odds to call, and your implied odds are better yet.
Even if the player with the ace-high flush *showed you their cards* on the
turn, considering the amount of money in the pot it would still be incorrect
to fold.

Can someone tell me what tsty's response means.
Is he saying he doesn't like bluffing?
Moreover, is he saying there was a lot of bluffing in this hand?
I don't get it.
Anytime I bet, I believed I had the best hand or would get enough callers to
increase expected value.
The only other person whose cards we saw made a questionable call preflop,
and called/raised reasonably after that.
I also don't know why tsty seems to think this hand was unamerican. I'd bet
that more than half the people at the table were citizens of the U.S.
tsty seems to be the only idiot here.

Tangentially related (at best..): Last night I wound up stuck in Seattle
overnight after United badly screwed up the first leg of my cross-country
return from Christmas vacation. Since I got in too late to shop or dine
at one of my favorite restaurants but didn't feel like sitting around in
the hotel room, I took a taxi to a card room about five miles from my hotel
and played High/Low Omaha for three hours or so.. And as much as I think
it's a matter better left unlegislated, I have to admit that I very much
enjoyed the smokelessness of the card room, thanks to Washington's sweeping
new anti-public-smoking law.
