    Default 25NL SFD

    Is this standard? With my inside straight+flush. CAn I call a push too. Askign coz I'm not that good with draws.

    $0.1/$0.25 No Limit Holdem
    6 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($64.05)
    UTG+1 ($23.40)
    Hero ($31.20)
    BTN ($24.65)
    SB ($42.90)
    BB ($16.05)

    Pre-flop: ($0.35, 6 players) Hero is CO
    UTG raises to $1, 1 fold, Hero calls $1, 2 folds, BB calls $0.75

    Flop: ($3.1, 3 players)
    BB checks, UTG bets $2.25, Hero raises to $6, BB calls $6, UTG folds

    Turn: ($17.35, 2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $10.8, BB goes all-in $9.05

    River: ($35.45, 2 players)

    Final Pot: $35.45
    BB shows:
    Hero shows:

    Hero wins $35.5 ( won +$17.7 )
    BB lost -$16.05
    UTG lost -$3.25

    Would be better to post without the outcome - but yeah it's fine. BB's flop call is a serious warning sign after it went raise-reraise (transparent slowplay), but then you got there and it didn't matter any more.

    About calling a push - BB can only put in another $9 and the pot will be 26 (including his push) - so yeah, for almost 3:1 you can't even consider folding. UTG pushing changes the odds substantially but you still probably can't fold after the flop action, and given that his range includes a fair amount of AA and AK.

    I would say though, depending on how these players play, I just call here a lot. You have greater fold equity in a heads up pot and against a tight player. Here you have two opponents (reads?) and that king hits UTG's range pretty well, so it may be just as +EV to just call and hope BB rides along (which obviously he would have here) - get a pot going and hopefully get one of them to stack off if you hit. There's also the perverse fact that so many players are now raising with these hands that a call often leaves the initial bettor wondering what you have, and when you hit (especially if you hit the straight) he may look you up with any reasonable one pair hand or better. Playing these hands highly aggressively is one of those things that I wish had remained more of a trade secret, because now every time the board comes down like this and someone raises you can't give them credit for a made hand.

    Anyway, one last thing: if you raise, you might want to go just a bit bigger - maybe $7 instead of $6.

    This is not so good imo;

    UTG raises to $1, 1 fold, Hero calls $1,

    The rest is sexy

    Yeah this is the reason you raise the flop with flushdraw/any draw, so he would check the turn so you will get a free card =)

    With deeper stacks I see nothing wrong with that at all, especially since you have position. I'd go so far as to say this - if you're comfortable playing that kind of hand on an aggressive deep stack, that call can be very +EV.
