This hand has been annoying me, but can't see that I played it badly at all - just checking it's OK really as a few people have said I could have got away from it but I don't see how.

Live Cash Game at Aspers in Swansea
Blinds are £1/£1 with $150 max sit down
My stack = £197
Opponents stack = >£200
Table is playing 8 handed with me in the Cut Off and my opponent in the BB

Read on opponent - He is quite loose and will call pretty light. I have been there for three hours and he has been at the table for all of that time. I have twice seen him lose his stack by calling down big bets with just top pair. He then won a big pot doing the same thing when somebody tried to bluff him off. He seems to like to call but I have not seen him make a raise and he is in a lot of pots. He is friendly and talking to everybody at the table.

My image = Very tight, I won one decent pot with TPTK and two smaller ones without showing. I think I called a raise once and folded to a c-bet, apart from that I have been folding.

In the hand in question there are three limper's ahead of me so I raise the pot to £10 with QdQh. The player described above calls and one other player (who seems a fairly solid player fwiw) also calls.

Flop = -6s-3s

I think this is an excellent flop but I have to protect my hand (checks to me) so I bet out £30 into a pot of about £35. The player described above instantly goes allin for the rest of my stack. The other caller folds. I take a couple of seconds before calling and the guy does look pretty relaxed and happy with the situation. The pot is now effectively around £205 and it's costing me about £150 to call.

Can anybody find a fold here. If he does have the flush I have outs and almost have the correct odds to call anyway, if he has the bare As (and people do sometimes play flush draws this way) then I am a pretty big favorite. Anything else I am pretty massive against.

This is a really easy call right? Can I ever fold and how deep do I have to be before I start thinking about folding?

EDIT - corrected amount to call, to around £150

Easy call, he has the A spades sometimes, and when he has the made flush we just make the doubles and triples.

if he has a flush 100% of the time which he prolly does nearly as described then ur losing a bit of money on the call i think.

that being said, I would never ever fold in the described situation, never

Yes, you're calling here.  Maybe against the nittiest of players you might think about folding (and then still call), but you are often ahead and even if he has the flush you will win the hand about 35% of the time.

I think there is room for improvement here

I didn't like the bit where you "thought for a few seconds", I prefer a fist pump do a little jig  Grin

let me get this right. in 3 hours you've only played one pot post flop? and in those same 3 hours he's only made one raise? and now you're finally putting money in the pot and he's making his first raise?

in your position I find a fold, the biggest clue is that the guy is probably wetting himself with excitement. once I've folded I go home and do something more interesting

but then I can't imagine I'd ever be in that position

There are players I could imagine folding here against but he doesn't sound like one of them.

well if the guy's range is ENTIRELY flushes then calling would technically be a mistake.

obviously no1 ever folds tho.
