no idea what to do here
This one really stymied me. Any help?
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.01 (5 handed) Hero ($$5.84) Button ($$3.08) SB ($$1.77) BB ($$2.14) UTG ($$2.28) Preflop: Hero 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. UTG calls $0.02, Hero raises to $0.1, Button folds, SB calls $0.09, BB calls $0.08, UTG folds. Flop: ($0.32) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font> SB checks, BB checks, Hero ??? OK, I know free cards are BAD, but this is an ugly board. |

Bet the pot, if called, check/fold on the turn. Pray you don't get called, or if you do that the turn doesn't give you a six...

Re: no idea what to do here
i agree with the other post...
bet the pot, i've been in the same situation a lot and find that you'll get a lot of pots that way without having to see the turn. if someone is calling, i'd say 75% of the time they have the flush already and were slowplaying it, the other 25% they have Ax are calling in hopes of another flush card... at the turn you can check and call/fold depending on your read. |

Re: no idea what to do here
Not to mention that 3-flush board is scary to any others that dont have any hearts. I have taken down many pots on this kind of flop with absolutely nothing just by potting it after a couple of checks. If someone calls, the alarm bell goes off and I play more cautiously from there on out.

Re: no idea what to do here
well the responses seem to be unanimous. my problem with potting it, is that doesn't seem to scare off people at the nano-limit NL. often times i'll bet the pot, and get two callers. here i didn't want ANY callers, so I bet .50 into the .32 pot, figuring i'd lay off if anyone called. everyone folded. woot.
