I should be shoving the turn (for value), but this was still fun:

The Ad is a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, I block one of his outs, but on the other hand, the nut flush draw is the most likely draw for him to have. Since he can’t have that, it does reduce the number of flushes in his range. I was just so sure based on his flop bet sizing…

Seems pretty random for him to call the last $90 with A-high, but I guess it’s worthwhile just to have the information or something? It would have to be a pretty sick bluff on my part.
