I'd been at the table for one orbit, only had 8 hands on villain, so no reads.
This is a situation that comes up regularly for me, and it's one that I struggle to cope with.
Ignore the min-raise, my virus-scan was updating automatically (which kills the CPU), and I was about to get timed out thanks to it, I just had to somehow get a raise in... Ideally, I would've popped it to .25.

This is a situation which is always difficult. I played 67s in MP because I have a big edge postflop against these players, therefore I see no reason to throw away perfectly playable hands against them. In fact, I'm only at 4NL because I need to get my bankroll going again after a huge downswing.

The problem with this situation is that I'm not actually beating that much, and I want to learn more about this situation (that comes up fairly regularly) before I move up to 20NL.

The thing is, I may have flopped a flush, but what actually am I beating here that I could play for stacks with? And I'd like to be talking about all low stakes (up to 50NL) here, as that's where I aspire to be at in a few months.

Generally, I'm beating a set, maybe a very stupid 2 pair, and as long shots, the Ac (maybe with top pair) and 23/34s, but am I beating them regularly enough to play for stacks with a weak flush? I'm not sure I am.

Any thoughts/input appreciated.

Yeah, of course, but what about higher up, which is mainly what I'm aiming at...

Try to get all in with flopped flushes (using both hole cards) at low stakes games up to and including 200NL unless you have reads on opponents that say otherwise.

Minraise sucks. Gives him odds on his higher single club to hit.

After the re-raise just shove. Hell at 4NL I'd just shove the flop. Did it twice at 25NL last night, won stacks both times.

Ship It

I agree with your conclusion though. Definitely get it in asap.

BankItDrew will become famous soon enough

I just finished a session @ 50NL and flopped a set on a board with two clubs. 3 players in the hand with lost of betting. One guy called my all in (he should have known very easily he was drawing to a club) with TPTK flush draw.

It happens at all levels between yours and 50NL. You are beating a lot of hands, many of which will call off their stack against your flush. At these limits especially, get it all in sooner than later.
