second question is do I really want the lead in this hand by betting out?

I would bet closer to full pot on the turn when you make the nut flush. Sure, somebody could have just filled up if they flopped a set or have AT/A4 but I play this like I still have the best hand on the turn.

On the river, you definitely gotta check and see what opp does. That's a seriously bad board for you - I'd call a small bet but fold to a big one (>1/2 pot).

You beat nothing that bets the river, c/f

Agree with Alexos C/F.

The only thing we beat is a worse flush and at 6.50 I would think they raise you on the turn alot when they hit.

Why are we betting the flop ? Not saying its wrong I just wouldn't do it and want to know if I am missing something.

How come we are leading 60% pot into 4 players on a medium/strong draw then only betting 64% pot into one opp with the Nut flush?

HC,
I moved down to open my starting hands and work on my aggression post flop. Some of it still "misplaced aggression" and this was one of them.

Not to mention if I pot the turn I bloat it and make it harder to get away from if I need to..



The line I took was to Bet / fold to a raise..

The reason i took this line was that I was planning on calling $200, so why not bet it and see if they want to fold. They call i'm beat, they raise i'm dead.. but I still give myself a chance to win the pot.

bet or CR on this flop unless somehow you feel you have 0 FE.

On the river, you say you'll never get called unless beat, so I guess you bet so he would not bluff you?

I hate calling, but at least calling he could be bluffing.

Just c/f.
