new poster looking for comments...

...fairly soft 9/18 b&m game...i'm otb with AsJs and raise an early and a mid-late limper (early player unknown; mid-late callst)...sb c-calls (strong player), bb folds and both limpers call...

flop: QsThTd

sb checks...early checks...late-mid bets and i raise hoping to steal (against 3 players, i know) or at least get a cheap idea if i am drawing dead...a re-raise and i fold, but everyone calls so i wait until the turn to find out if someone is slowplaying a boat...

turn is Ks...everyone checks...i bet and only sb calls...now i put him on T9s, maybe KQ...AT...JT..99...even...JJ

so heads-up with nut straight, drawing to nut flush and royal...

river is 7s. sb checks, i bet, he raises, i re-raise, he calls with Ts9s...

make the fold on flop? how to handle paired flop with gutshots/backdoor nut flush/runner/runner royal and other longshots when otb?

thanks
lucky turn

hi slow
you played it fine until the river. the main problem here is considering folding on the flop if reraised. usually a boat will wait until the turn or river.

for that reason, the river was a little over done by you. you don't need the heroics on the river. bet and call the raise. it's not awful to 3 bet, but you do lose some ev there.
