An unusual and scary FLHE hand.

Another hand from the 8-game tourney. This time it`s FLHE. Again the result is in a spoiler.

PokerStars Game #23739431413: Tournament #131666242, $2.00+$0.20 8-Game (Hold'em Limit) - Level XVIII (160/320) - 2009/01/09 19:05:33 ET

*** TURN *** [3s Js 6c] [5s]
lidia18: checks
MADMANIC1: bets 320
GoatBoy420: calls 320 (I only called because I was worried about the A flush after the re-raise on the flop)
lidia18: calls 320
*** RIVER *** [3s Js 6c 5s] [6d]
lidia18: bets 320
MADMANIC1: raises 320 to 640

lidia coming out firing when the board paired gave me quite a scare. Then MADMANIC re-raises and I`m seriously wondering if my K high flush is good. Am I up against the A flush or has one of them just filled up for a boat?

There`s a possibilty if I call lidia will 3-bet and MAD will cap the betting. If I call I`m potentially committing 4 bets not just 2.

Call or fold?

Spoiler:

GoatBoy420: calls 640

I did come very close to folding this hand but decided I had too much invested not to at least call. Had lidia 3-bet I might have had to lay it down.

I was very relieved when the chips slid my way. It`s not very often I get so tense about a FLHE hand.

I think your right that you had too much in it to not at least call that last bet, even though there were 2-3 hands that could have been better...

Yes FL is a scary game people will draw for anything. I think that all you could do was call and hope for the best you had to much invested
