View Full Version : Too aggressive?

I've been playing my draws rather timidly lately and decided I had better get more aggressive. Did I over do it? I had the 2nd nut FD, a gutshot and 2 overcards. Should I have just called the raise? Or, perhaps, just push the flop instead of betting?

Suppose, the CO had just called my flop bet and the turn was a blank, what should I have done then?

If you look at it, odds are you could catch any K, Q, J, or club to win. Given that and that you're out of position, I like moving in here. It takes the guess work out of this hand of what to do if you miss on the turn and he raises again.

After the flop all you have is King high, chances of improvement are very high but its not one to play pretty

I would probably play this one timidly. He called a decent preflop raise. It sounds great that you have a good flush draw, a gutshot, and overcards, but there are lots of ways to lose if your outs hit. He could have nut flush, he could have AK or AQ and outkick you, and your pair could give him a straight. Although, it is probably ok if there is a good chance he would drop a nut flush draw to your allin.

If you have folding equity, push.

Can I just say I don't like the preflop raise from UTG+1.

Do you really not like raising there? It's six handed, and yeah it's UTG+1, but another way to look at it is that he's acting just before the CO. KQc is certainly a good enough hand to play and nobody else is in the pot yet, so why not come in for a raise?

I often check the flop in this spot and get a free card. But I dont like such a big bet on the flop. I make it 100-125 if I bet and go from there.
