AK makes top pair on turn & gets check-raised from BB (5NL micros)

[bhaley66]

Unwisely perhaps, I bet the flop hoping to make him fold (ok, I know, fish don't fold, and that one third sized bet wouldn't do it anyway -- I know, that was mistake number one).

I think (at the time) I had about 75 hands on him (in PokerTracker), but no specific notes about hands he played. VPIP 40, PRF 10, AFreq 35, AF 1.6.

On the flop, a $.30 bet gave him ~3.7 pot odds; if he was drawing to the flush he would have been incorrectly calling. My $.80 turn bet gave him ~2.8 pot odds. I guess I didn't want to risk that much here w/ larger bets since I really didn't have anything on the flop, and was still vulnerable on the turn. Those amounts were too little you think?

Actually, its like 4.1:1 pot odds, and 5.1:1 odds of him hitting a flush if he is drawing, so it would still be a bad call, however, not bad enough to convince many fish to fold... The flop amount was most definitely terrible, don't be a pansy. I would 3/4 pot the flop and pot the turn.

c/cing w/ flush isn't bad on the villains part at all for these PO. If you are c/fing flushes getting 4;1 on the flop you have some serious issues
