I advocate raise in flop to thin the field, a flush danger is too haunting

Ahhh... now we get to the heart of the matter...

Lets say that the SB and BB are fishy and at least one of them will call quite often to something drawing dead or near dead to us. Also, consider that any pocket pair is getting pot odds to draw to a set if they don't know I have a bigger set.

Am I better off getting 1 or 2 over-calls drawing really thin or putting in another bet against someone who is probably drawing quite live to a flush?

Mike Caro brings up the point that sometimes by trying to knock out players you knock out the guys you WANT to call...

Then again, consider the odds the SB/BB call drawing near dead anway or the odds MP 3-bets.

I guess the short of it is that I really don't care about protecting against the flush draw on the flop because his odds are too good. On the turn it's almost a moot point because the flush got there and I think someone has it. I really don't care much about any other draws because they are so thin if not dead.

In my interpretation, you are saying that you want to ram the fishy or losse callers as much as possible by a CALL in flop ,right?

But I don't want to do this, my rule is , as slow play of a very strong hands, but potentially beaten, is not good.

It's disastrous to have set aa beaten by a flush ,right?

There is nothing I can do about the flush draw. He has odds to draw and I'm not getting a lot of value for every SB he calls on the flop. There is also a very good chance no one has the flush draw.

Some people may not be willing to call 2bets for a flush draw , though with pot odds.
Moreover, it is 4 people see the flop, so high card shoul prevail to win, flush should be at its limited value, a tradional view.

So i will raise definately, to guarantee i MUST win this hand , at the very least.

On what planet? Good players rarely fold them (small pot, paired board and such.) Bad players because they calls with worse all the time. Flush draws don't fold, accept it and get on with life. Given this, I'm much more interesting is maximizing the amount of money going into the pot from people who aren't drawing to a flush.

fuuuuuuuck. and i thought i had a bad day. well i did, but yours was downright godawful!!

regarding the set of aces hand... i've been reading TOP and what i got out of it was that sometimes you know you can't possibly knock out a guy who has correct odds to draw, but you still should raise to reduce his odds. it's better to give him slightly favorable odds than to give him very favorable odds. in your case, if those limpers were truly fishy, they may have called your raise and increased the pot size. but i don't know how people play at 5/10.

I tend to "micro-tilt". After a string of horrible beats I'll play an extra hand or put in that river cap out of spite. Pretty quickly after that I'll see what I did and get my shit together.

Hard to say without PlayerView while I'm 5 tabling. I just figured I make much more money per bet going into the pot from a non-flush bet on the turn. Then consider they may go to war on bigger streets if they catch a better hand. I pitch the "don't slow play" slogan too, but thinking it throught I decided to go with the call on the flop planning to wake up on the turn. Then the flush hit scrapping that plan...

I still made 1BB/100 on Party yesterday (net $163.86), but dropped $400 on Pacific.

Really drives home how much limit is about the little things...

I hate the MP 3-bet on the turn...and I like your flop call.

If you raise the flop, that's not going to knock out a flush draw.

Not sure I understand this. By raising you aren't lowering his odds of winning, you are putting more money in when it's likley that you are still ahead. So by raising you are pushing you edge while allowing him odds to call down to the river.

This one made me think alot about whether to call or raise the flop. Since you know they will call your raise, why not wait for a safe card on the turn and then look to raise?

I like the flop call. Anyone acting behind has odds to draw to their flush. You dont care about any non-diamond on the turn. Plus I like calling so you can raise the turn when any non-diamond hits. Turn is interesting. You're first to call with players behind to act so that's always uncomforatble. But I think going for overcalls here when you are either way ahead or way behind is safe.

yep, a call in flop is sensible provided that the one who are drawing flush will call anyway. Jam the pot if the turn cards don't hit!

But may i ask a question?
If the preflop wasn't capped ,let's say only 2 small bets each player, will a raise in flop be good enough to drive out the one who are drawing flush ?

Usually. I don't think it's a logic thing for most players, they see the raise and bail without more than 4 outs.

You need roughly 3-1 pot odds to call a flush draw. Therefore, there are times where waiting to the turn to raise, when the bets are larger in relation to the pot. will protect your hand better (plus there is only 1 more card to come). When the pot is capped preflop, you cant really protect your hand since the pot is so large.

Having only one card to come is key. For every $1 the flush draw is putting in a lot less of it comes back to him.

Fnord is completely in the right for slow playing his set, everyone damn well knows the flush draw isn't going anywhere, so why not play it as deceptive as possible...

heck, i'm a no-limit player and understand this

In No-Limit slow play has more merit because you can make up missed bets very easily on later streets. In limit the betting structure makes this difficult.

If this was party poker I would be more likely to agree with your slow play here. However Given it is pacific and the action you got on both the turn and river, I'm sure you missed some bets here on the flop and the turn, I count possibly 2 SB on the flop and 2 BB on the turn. At the pacific table they are going to call 2 bets like its nothing and slowplaying here will just cost you bets. Considering you cant see what your opponents had its rather hard to see if they will fold. I'm guessing one of them had the nut flush or a flush, the other I'm thinking nailed his set on the turn. If that were the case then quite possibly the guy with 99 would have folded to 2 bets on the flop and you were right.

Were you going to raise here on the turn if the flush didnt hit?

Pacific 5/10 plays more like a Party 2/4 or 3/6 game. Also without PlayerView it's hard to get a handle on just how bad specific players are while I'm running 5 tables.

MHIG!

Everyone tell me how much you hate this hand and why...
Very keen to investigate this situation
When we have set a but there is potential danger of flush in the flop .

So now the conclusion should be CALL in flop and jam the pot when turn no hit ?
Any counter arguements.? Very like to study this hand .
