Without reads, I would bet-call the river.

On another note, button's river call is brilliant.

[itsmesteve]

5:1 i like the call preflop and lead on the flop. the whole hand looks pretty good to me.

i'd make a note for UTG+2 after this hand. . .

ps don't include results.

[Entity]

3-bet the flop.

[this guy]

reraise the flop, you have a monster hand with a ton of pot equity (?)

[Fantam]

I would 3 bet the flop for value as you have so many outs to improve your hand. (15 outs to a straight or flush and 6 outs to top pair by the turn.)

I would bet the turn and then call the raise fearing a higher flush. So from then on I would have checked and called to showdown.

Now I will have a look at the results. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Can you explain why, please. I never do that!

you have an OESD and the flush draw. you have TONS of value on this hand. Button is cold calling and you have UTG trapped between. get the money now because they may fold when you hit your hand. no reason, at this point, to think someone else has a better drawing hand...at least, that's how i see it /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[therockofgibraltar]

Thanks for answering but I just noticed that I misread your previous comments! I read that you were talking about three betting pre-flop! /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Must have been Ed Miller. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[mmbt0ne]

I'd 3bet the flop, and bet-call the river.

[IPSC]

I didn't read your results.

Raise the flop, you have a major equity edge.

Without any reads on the UTG+2 and since the button is coming along, I bet this river and call a raise.

[jimcrow2]

This must be an example of what they call a "bad beat"!!! /images/graemlins/heart.gif /images/graemlins/heart.gif

[aK13]

I 3bet the flop. Your equity is gigantic at this point, with your flush draw + OESD, and you have the opportunity to trap the field for another bet.

[Roybert]

I'd raise the flop and bet the river.
