I re-raise a little more pre-flop since there are two callers and you're OOP, I make it $18 or $20. As played, you get two callers... meh. Tough call between betting the flop for ~$30 and folding to resistance, and just c/f'ing. I could go either way on the turn too... betting reps a slowplayed AA or a scared KK/QQ... so tough without a read. As played on the river, easy call, b/c you're getting over 5:1 and I think there's a 1 in 6 chance he has a busted flush draw here. More likely you're beat though.

Sorry I'm not much help here obv Just remember that the truly borderline EV decisions are the ones you should worry least about. I think Tommy Angelo wrote that.

thx zook i had a feeling this could go either way

i pretty much put them both on PPs or a poorly played AK (by cold caller anyway). i checked flop and was gonna fold to resistence i guess (from OPFR anyway).

felt betting turn would rep AAA or AKs type hand or KK QQ.

but my thinking was would they ever check on flop with this hand after PFR has checked and flop has flush draw!!! granted someone on a draw is unlikely but my point is why wouldnt they bet.

Uhm.. why not c-betting the flop? if he calls you there he got you beat. If not he will fold there and you take away the pot.

Because doing that loses money. If we win the pot right there we've gained nothing extra, if he calls we've lost our c-bet money. I prefer checking to the turn/river and making a bit of money when our opponent thinks his 88/middle pair might be good/takes a shot on the river.

Meh, maybe my reasoning is wrong, experienced players help me out here.
