    Getting 18.3 to 1 pot odds? Are you nuts?

    I like a call on this flop. Donkey BB probably has AJ, KJ, QJ, JTs, etc. You probably have 6 outs at best with a backdoor 2nd nut FD. The pot is already huge. I'll take the odds with a call instead of raising hoping they have a fold button.

    That's what I meant, obviously not folding but why did you raise?

    I would of called. Check fold the rest of the hand if no improvement. Now you had a flush draw and over cards on the turn, I'm taking the free card. No improvement on the river check / fold. Action in front of you suggest somebody has at least a J on the flop...
