Example Hands: Flush

[RobbieLePop]

Simple thread, you are at a table with the following scenario.
State what you would do so that it might help other people if they ever end up in a similar situation.

-----
Background:

One on one again against a player that is tight/aggressive.
You are short stacked.

In your pocket you have the 7 of spades and 8 of diamonds.

Middle is: 10s-Js-Qs-As-4d
The middle after the river gives you a flush, but theres also an outside possibility of your opponent having a Royal flush or the two higher spades.

He is first to play and goes all in.

What do you do?

[griceyt]

fold
i wouldnt risk it if u have the chip lead already
i like these things
MAKE MORE lol

[Matadoo]

He stated you are short stacked, and playing heads up. I would risk it. If I went out to a royal flush, then well done to him. If he has a pair of aces, then well done to me

[BetYouDo]

I would take the chance, especially short-stacked, where you can't keep folding and eventually have to play with say 5-2 in the big blind.

Also, all-in against a short stack is played more easily than against a big stack, so I would not assume the raiser had either one of the three mortal cards. He might have a straight and test his luck.

Have to agree, if I was short stacked and head's up - I'd definately call and go all in.

[Shurtugal]

Being short stacked, I would risk it, and the odds of getting a royal are....?

[Danny_19]

Fold.lol

the easy option but mine?

[Marlo]

i'd call it mate. you've got to have a bit of heart, and if you want to win big you've got to gamble

I left that for user interpretation
There are three higher spades indeed, but the Ks makes the royal flush, hense why I said or the two higher remaining spades
