Should I have capped the river here? I had the 2nd nut flush (as well as the limp straight-flush possiblility out there), and the nut low. My fear was that my high hand was no good, and I guess I've been quartered so many time with the nut low I'm getting gun shy and was afraid I was playing for 1/4 the pot.

All day long. I would cap it with a 9 high flush. if he has the 1 hand that beats you so be it, you get quartered. chances are you're the one doing the quartering or as it turns out scooping.

why just call the turn??? you will leave a lot of money on the table long term doing that

Mabye I've just been unlucky, but I've been burned so many times with K-high flush losing to A-high and nut lows getting me 1/4 of the pot that I thought that was a pretty normal occurance.

Good question. The only reason I would normally just call there would be to try and keep a 3rd person in the pot. Maybe I was hallucinating last night.

I get the flop call, trying to get some overcalls, good idea... you got the low and a good flush draw. Then whoops, they left.

Ok nut low, second flush... Ok raise him... on every street. At WORST, we chop straight up. Best we scoop.
