    Hero ?


    I got a great flop and bet my strong draw hard twice and he still called on the turn that obviously filled the nut straight. Then I hit my redraw for a flush but the board also pairs.

    Do I know check and call and how much do I then call?
    Do I make a blocking bet of say 15-20$ and fold to a raise?
    Anything else?

    You might tell me to fold preflop? I'm just after a great flop here to continue out of position. If not I'll be able to let it go.

    Read BB: 61 hands, VP$IP 23, RP 8.2, Aggr frq: 18.5.

    Seems like a classic b/f spot to me.

    Its interesting, I never noticed how often the board paired until I played Omaha.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    Why 32?

    I feel like you're ahead here still most of the time. He definitely could have some lower flush or j9, so bet to get value from those.

    he's like never jamming the river over a bet so just bet for value and feel silly if he has like 88xx

    Well I usually have all my bets end in 2 or 8 unless I'm shoving.

    I think more than 20 is good because he'll almost always call more with J9, for sure calls with a lower flush and might call with something like AQ97 if he's managed to get here with it. And he'll usually check back all those hands. He also might just call with random hands like Q8 or Q3 where he would probably bet more with those if you check.

    Re reading hand I did not see we had J9, good spot for a turn C/R unless he's very passive because the Q almost always helps him + looks like it might scare you.
